I do this on a grand scale using scheduled transactions.

The key is not to worry too much about exact amounts too far in the future
and to use an appropriate "create in advance" period, e.g. 3 months for
utility bills, 1 month for salary, 1 year for insurance.

where I don't know the exact amount until closer to the event I make an
intelligent guess and put "(allow)" at the end of the description and then
adjust to the exact amount when I do know.
