pseudocode question

I have some code that has some bugs in it. A standard mortgage is paid monthly over 30 years. This program is intended to print 360 payment coupons for a new borrower. Each coupon lists the month number, year number, and a friendly mailing reminder. Can you please help me fix this pseudocode.

start
     num MONTHS = 12
     num YEARS = 30
     string MSG = "remember to allow 5 days for mailing"
     num monthCounter = 1
     num yearCounter = 1 
     while yearCounter <= YEARS
           while monthCounter <= MONTHS
                 Print monthCounter, yearCounter, MSG
                 monthCounter = monthCounter + 1
            endwhile
     end while
stop

The only thing that I notice is that yearCounter is not incremented at all.

You do it alternatively with for loops which ought to be easier to see:

Start
     num MONTHS = 12
     num YEARS = 30
     string MSG = "remember to allow 5 days for mailing"
     num monthCounter = 1
     num yearCounter = 1
     For yearCounter = 1 To YEARS
           For monthCounter = 1 To MONTHS
                 Debug.Print monthCounter, yearCounter, MSG
           Next
     Next
