I'm not sure what you mean by managing costs, but in iCal, you can set a repeating event (Pay $50 to ___) that ends after a certain date.

Remember that OF is not designed for anything other than managing projects and action lists. Some aspects of finances are "actions" and some aren't. Paying a bill and taking your paycheck to the bank are examples of actions, which are appropriate to put into OF. Other aspects of finances—such as displaying or recording your monthly budget—are not appropriate for OF (except transiently, in your inbox). For those things, you'd use a spreadsheet or a dedicated financial program. Only action lists go into OF. The rest is project reference material, and should stay outside of OF.

OF is a great program, and at times I try to use it for stuff that really ought to be kept in a different place. But all that other junk just bogs down OF and interferes with the simplicity that comes from its being dedicated to action lists.

If you're interested in adding end dates to repeating actions, feel free to send an email to the support ninjas. If they get enough interest in a feature, they may implement it in a future release.
