Rails has time extensions, so you can use things like Time.now.next\_month and Time.now.next\_month.month Go into your script/console and check it out. It's pretty sweet for doing Time and Date-based work. Also see api.rubyonrails.org under CoreExtensions::Numeric::Time

In my experience, the Date class sucks and I don't use it.
