It rings clear to me how 'irregulars' can bust a budget if overlooked. I would probably add "dr office co-pays" under medical/dental category. Good post.

I have a seperate one for insurance which holds the cash for Home and Auto insurances. @Money Funk, Great list. This is one of my favorite topics because if you don't plan for these, your budget WILL GET BLASTED. @Mrs. Money I also do the “self-escrowing” of our property taxes with an ING account.

Can't imagine what it would cost us together, now, married and with the house (and my crazy 1099s). The $180 was for when Mr. Saver was single and living home with parents, lol.

We've only been homeowners for 6 months and the house was in great shape when we got it, but you never know what will need replacing in the near future! The house will also complicate our taxes this year, but I think we'll be okay doing it ourselves, since neither of us are self-employed. Hubby's parents used to pay someone to do his taxes when he lived at home and only had one W-2 and one 1099-I. $180! It was so wasteful! lol Putting aside money for home maintenance is a great idea.

However, since hubby has his own business, it gets more complicated. He's been doing his taxes himself for several years, and this year he consulted a tax guy to ask him some questions. Turns out, hubby has been filing incorrectly for several years! Good news is that he's been paying too much, not too little, so we *might* get a nice refund. Gone are the days when I could use the EZ form for everything, and at this point, I'm not upset about paying a professional to do it.

Each month we set aside the money in a separate ING account for just that. It works pretty well! I think now is a great time to think about lump sun payment planning. :) We escrow our own property taxes and insurance. Each month we set aside the money in a separate ING account for just that.

There are so many things I've left out. I'm great with budgeting my regular monthly expenses, I've got that down to a T. But, now I see I am missing so many important areas.
