In about a week or two I will be on "maternity leave" without a job. Going through and revamping our budget now, big time, seeing as I don't know if I will have a job in a month or two! And the extra expense of another baby.

@locavore_mama: We do this from time to time or when a "big change" (i.e. moving, etc) is coming and we want to get prepared or re-evaluate

I am constantly looking at my spendings on Mint and tweaking our budget too...

Glad I'm not the only one that changes it frequently!

We change ours so frequently. It really just depends on our spending that month. Our budget is never the same two months in a row (except for our fixed costs).

I revamp each time we get sidetracked... so 1-2 times per year? I need to do it again in the next few months to work out our options once baby #1 gets here!

We go through it at least once a year or when DH gets a raise.

We tweak ours frequently. I just depends on what is going on at that particular time. We have done a lot of tweaking lately with a new puppy and all the vet appointments! We have also had some vet appointments for our other dog at the same time. It has been an expensive month for us!

We do a unique budget every month, but generally it is almost the same every month. Long months (we budget weekly so some are 4 weeks and some are 5), months where we travel, or when we get bonuses or have an unexpected big expense are the only big changes. Job changes would definitely mean a big change.

We strive for a written budget every month (although we've been slacking the last few months). Our major expenses are all fixed, so its mostly an issue of incidentals, so its not a huge deal, but even if we don't write a budget down, DH and I always have regular chats about upcoming expenses (probably at least weekly) so that we are on the same page and have the money ready in our account.

I handle all of our finances, and I revisit our budget probably 2 or 3 times a year, as well as any time we have a big change or unexpected expense. I also try to go over it weekly with DH so he knows where things stand.
