Both DH and I are paid monthly, we work for the same company.

There is definitely an adjustment period, but you do get used to it.

Budgeting is the key, if you haven't already got one, get a budget happening.

Everything is paid monthly for us, including our mortgage, which I know isn't ideal, but whilst we're both being paid monthly it works for us. We get paid on the 15th and I have direct debits in place for the 16th that pays everything we need to - mortgage, electricity, phone, gas etc

I then have a monthly budget for everything else - groceries, incidentals, fuel, clothing, entertainment. I then divide this amount by how many weeks are in the month (sometimes there's 4, sometimes there's 5) and I then know how much I can afford to spend each week.

DH and I get a set amount of "pocket money" for the month and once it's gone, it's gone. Savings are also budgeted and go straight into our savings account on the 15th so we're not tempted to spend it.

If there's anything else you need help with let me know, it's a big adjustment but it can definitely be done
