Payday can't come soon enough!

August 25th, 2010 at 02:12 pm

Both DH and I get paid on the last working day of each month... that means that our next payday is Aug 31. Don't you guys hate having to wait til each payday? It's torture sometimes! Smile

We will be getting some "extra" funds this week though which will help. $227 from my employer as travel reimbursement and $480 from my flexible spending account. I so underestimated our needs for the spending account this year... I elected for just $480 for the entire year and we ate that all up in one month's time. What I didn't account for was that our youngest DD would need glasses which cost a fortune. Oh, well - better some than nothing, I guess. So, that's an additional $707 that I will get to play with this week and that will hold me until payday. I just like to "book" the monthly contributions to our various accounts in my spreadsheet and can't do that until we get paid each month. I'm such a dork! Smile

    I love divvy-ing up my money, too. On the first of each month I allocate my money to my envelopes and sweep extra out from my discretionary enevelopes from the previous month. Then I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of my savings balances - EF and personal savings. I always look forward to it. I also have an income tracking spreadsheet where I enter information from my pay stubs and interest from bank accounts. I use it to help fine tune my tax withholdings each year so I'm not getting a huge refund. Hello my name is skydivingchic and I am a complete personal finance geek. Smile

    I'm like that too. I'm ready to add money to the savings, extra payments on the van, ect. Payday isn't until next week.

    I am really lucky when it comes to glasses. Even without optical insurance my vision is pretty decent, so my glasses are cheap. My wife, however, has poor eyesight and this leads to very expensive glasses no matter where we get them... I feel your pain in that regard!
