to monthly by dividing the six month premium by six.

For expenses incurred more or less often than monthly,
convert the payment to a monthly amount when calculating the monthly budget. For instance, convert auto expense that's billed
every six months to a monthly amount by dividing the six-month premium by six. This money should be kept separate from your
other money so it's available when the bill becomes due.
