Transcript

Payday routine with me as a tech girlie. So we got paid $3550.78. So let's start with our checklist. First, it's time to pay bills. $800 to my car note, $129 to the phone bill, $1020 to daycare, $278 for electricity, and $228 for water. Child, the water bill on autopay, but I guess they forgot to take their money out last month. Next, we budget. So first is groceries, $150. Gas is going to be $80, and then we're going to a festival, so I'm budgeting $150 for that as well. Thank God I no longer have to pay my credit card off, so the rest of my money is for me. Now it's time to pay myself. $100 is going to my brokerage, and then $100 each is also going to my children's custodial accounts, which leaves me with roughly $400 until the next check. Bye.
