Ah, it probably works better for me as I'm paid monthly.
I have a little experience with what ongoing pain is like; you do what you can. Your wife is lucky to have your support, and I think it's entirely understandable that keeping up with bills is something you don't always have time or energy for.
I see you mentioned entering receipts in another comment - if you're using debit to pay for a lot of stuff, that *is* a chore Mint is very helpful with (if you're comfortable giving it your online banking login info, anyway). It automatically categorizes most of your purchases according to the budget area it thinks they belong in, and it's usually right; I do still have to tell it where a few purchases belong, but it's definitely much less work than manually entering receipt amounts into a budget spreadsheet, like I used to do.
