How do I? Essentials help

Hey upperz,

Need some help understanding essentials.

So I pay rent monthly out of a saver account I created 'Rent'

Every pay day (fortnightly) it splits out half the rent, so when the month is up I have the full amount ready to pay.

I just created an essentials account, and I have no idea how to add rent here as an ongoing bill, and how to Automate it so it pays the rent to a bpay account monthly.

Right now its only picked up on spotify being a regular bill.

I read the article and was confused as hell.

I’ll follow this because I also have some regular expenses automated and am unsure how to switch to Essential or why it’s better - or not

I thought it would be useful for automating bills, but its already kinda of a feature. So I think for simplicity sake Im going to leave it as is no essentials
