I try to donate more those months, because I feel extra benevolent when there's that much extra money in my checking account, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1398006 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:44:26 +0000 mediagirl 1398006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put it towards his credit card, if needed. If that's not an issue, we save it towards a house project. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397989 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:40:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1397989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't change how we budget. DH gets paid 15/31, I get paid every two weeks. But we still budget every dollar. It's not "extra money" unless I work extra hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397981 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:38:43 +0000 Mae 1397981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing really. My husband gets paid every other week so there are usually 2 months/year where he gets 3 paychecks, but when that happens it means that the next month we won't get a paycheck for almost 2 weeks. So the last check just hangs out in our checking account to pay the first half of the month bills. Usually after a few months that means we have extra money in our checking account and then we just move it over to savings (we don't keep too much more than necessary in checking), but it isn't like, a structured thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397976 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:38:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 1397976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn’t change anything / we don’t do anything differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397970 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:37:03 +0000 psw27 1397970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to @mrsbrewer it all works out in the wash and just goes towards normal bills or covering the next months bills. Our savings plan is always the same every month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397962 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:34:42 +0000 Arden 1397962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put it into savings, split between the things we're currently saving for - new glasses/contacts for me, Vi's birthday party, and emergency fund. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397954 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:33:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 1397954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never notice it unfortunately. Our bills never stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-money-when-a-month-has-an-extra-payday#post-1397952 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:31:04 +0000 Bao 1397952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No need to get too personal, but do you save it, spend it? Something else? Last month DH got three paychecks instead of the normal two so we used it to catch up on a few things and to get the furniture for baby E. I like when he gets an extra check because I feel like we can get ahead a little. </p>
