Example: I have a termite service that bills me on 10/31 every year. I get 26 paychecks every year and need to budget about 15 bucks every pay check. I have this item in my budget but I can't figure out how to get the budget to set the money aside.
Currently I have a termite registry item in my checking account that I add 15 bucks to every pay check so that when the bill comes due I have the money.

Set that category as a rollover.

use the rollover feature in the budget. Let's say your annual bill is $1200, paid once per year. Budget $100 per month, and set it to rollover. Then, after 1 year, your budget will show that category as $1200 'Under'. meaning you have $1200 in the budget to spend. Once you actually spend the $1200, it zeroes out and you start over.0
