That still makes more sense than what we do now.

Then there is the Hebrew lunar calendar:

which adds an extra leap month in 7 out of every 19 years (3, 6, 8,
11, 14, 17, and 19):

Being able to handle such an ugly calenadar might explain why Jews are
quite good at finance. Can you imagine what a loan amortization
schedule looks like under such a calendar?
