Feeling richer?

OntarioVanMan · Aug 30, 2011

It is an illusion...

July - Aug - Sept period..by quirk of calender...

IF paid by the week..there are 14 paydays ...
July had 5 Fridays, Aug had 4, Sept again will have 5...
still feeling rich?

If someone struggles that bad, it will not be long till they go out of business.
You need a reserve of money of at least a few months for the unexpected.

Miles make such a biger impact than the # of paychecks or weeks in a month. If this week goes as well as the last 3, I will have made almost double in the 4 weeks of August vs the 5 weeks of July.

Butfinancially August sucked because of holdback and getting those small checks in &ugust.

But you'll have Sept....another 5 Friday month with 5 settlements....that should help...

You are right though, I did burn through a lot of savings. My buffer in my account is gone.

I feel richer just from the idea of this being the one month of the quarter that I'm not in the shop.

Still I am trying to figure out the illusion.

Did you use a trick calendar?

More than 52 weeks in a year?

5 weeks in 2 out of 3 months does not happen that often....when one has an extra weeks settlement in a monthly budget it can give an illusion one has more money then they really have...

Like the QC payment of $35 a week...I see some say it is $140 a month..WRONG....35x52 divided by 12...is $166.66 a month...
