Budget Help

Evening all. I am trying to set up a budget for my money. I know how much i need to transfer each week into certain accounts to meet payments. What i would like to know is how people on these forums make sure that the money is in the account before the due date, and how do you do it each month as direct debits can come out in varying weeks depending on the dates.


Cheers

    I have a free program I downloaded called Acemoney lite and all my d/d's come out of one account - When I get paid I put in there how much and it takes off all outgoings i then know how much I have to spend. I also have an o/d that I don't use but if I forget something is a backup so I don't get charges etc.
