One of the consequences of getting everything locked down in spreadsheets is that I now have a monthly ritual: at the end of the month I cross-reference my bank balance against my spreadsheet of expenses and proceed to move some things around: the credit card gets paid, some money gets moved into a pot for the bigger expenses that come in the second half of the year, and then whatever is left goes into savings.
In theory, I then forget all about this until the same time next month; in practice, there's constant adjusting, tweaking, and general obsessing over the spreadsheet.
All of which pretty much counts as fun these days. Which is perhaps a measure of how everything else is going right now. Oh well.
