July is a 3rd paycheck month!

Rejoice in having an extra deduction for health insurance and support payments if you've got 'em. Hang onto the rest because it's two weeks till you get another. Suffer the other 24 pay periods when you make up for the 2 extra checks.

oh pshaw.

For me, these 3 paycheck months alway creep up the month after I had to have an expensive repair or maintenace done.

Or else something breaks the day before that payday.

Back when Mr B got bi-weekly paychecks we'd use the extra summertime one for vacation or unexpected expenses and the wintertime one for Christmas and the new unexpected expenses that pop up every so often. My budget was based on two checks/month. The third one was a bonus for budgeting purposes.

Bi-weekly pay, god. I've been on once monthly for 13 years now, I can't even remember what it's like to get paid that way.
