How much is my paycheck and budget with me? My first paycheck of September on a $40,000 salary while trying to pay off nearly $96,000 in debt. Hey guys, welcome back to my debt payoff series. So I ran some numbers and I got paid this September second. I get paid bi-weekly for my salary based job for two weeks, for my gross pay, I got $1,543.27. Deductions/taxes: $291.35. Came out of that for tax and deductions. So the first thing that I had to pay was Medicare, social security, and then for my 401k contribution, I have an employer match of up to 6% of my income. So out of my check, each month, I have it taken out. I don't even see it. $92.60, which is 3% of my income, out of my check, each month, having it taken out. I don't even see it. So that brought my total down to $1,159.32. So the first thing that I had to pay was rent, which was $1,000. My check went down to $172.72 to work with. So I paid the Discover minimum payment, which is $39. That brought my total down to $133.72. So I paid the Discover card down from $1,995.39 to $1,956.39. For groceries, I spent $46.01. Took my total down to $87.71. I put aside $42 for transportation, which is how I get around. So I have volleyball next week, which I always budget around $42 to get there and back. My subscriptions, I canceled so many subscriptions this month. This month that are coming out in these two weeks is Spotify, which was $12.99. My iCloud storage, 1 terabyte, which is $9.99. Together, brought it down to $22.73. Leftover in my bank account for these next two weeks. I honestly have three other checks coming this month, but rent is not a huge lump sum coming out of my first check. So I'll be able to put some money aside for rent, so it's not a huge lump sum coming out of my first check. My subscriptions, I canceled so many subscriptions this month.
