Formula to push date out 6 months and take into account year carryover

I have a formula that adds 6 months to today's date, but it bombs out when we get to July...  The formula I currently have is- DATE( YEAR(TODAY()) , (MONTH(TODAY()+6)), DAY(TODAY()))

 

How can I get it to increment the year if it is July or after?  I will admit that date formulas seem to be the most confusing things to me. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Why not just add 180 days? So your formula is:

 

Date__c + 180
 
Hope that helps,

THanks Shilyer.  Sometimes I overcomplicate things...  I was looking for a long formula, when just adding 180days did the job.  Thanks for that.
