Budget my paycheck. Let's budget my $1439.20 biweekly this paycheck. I got paid $1,439.20 and have $691.75 left over from my budget last pay period. In total, we'll be budgeting $2,130.95 for the next two weeks until I get paid again. Starting off with bills, I'm budgeting $649.47 for bills. That's $400 for rent, $225 for an extra car payment, $12 for my Kindle subscription, $2.99 for my Apple subscription, $1.99 for Google subscription, and then $7.49 for Amazon. Total expenses, I'll be budgeting $725. That's $120 for groceries, $65 for gas, $450 for personal spending because I haven't shopped for work clothes, $60 for gifts, and then $30 for coffee. For debt payments, I'm just paying my $50 on one of my student loans. And for savings, I'm budgeting $700. That's $300 for my Roth IRA and then $400 is going into my high yield savings account. So after all that, I'm left with $6.48. That should be enough until I get paid again.
