So my total gross yearly income after taxes is around $40000.That includes my Christmas bonus. I get paid biweekly and after taxes and extra life/medical/short term dis/etc and it comes to $1100. I also clean the offices for $200 a week.
So twice a year I'll get an extra biweekly paycheck and I believe 2 extra cleaning the office checks. In the past I haven't counted this in my budget and try to send it to savings or retirement. I was just curious on how other people that get paid biweekly etc figured thier budgets/income? Advice please and thank you!

Is the Kohl's Account on your side bar paid off?
In your grocery budget of $550 is that just for food? Or does that include household items and dining out?
Is the $20 for entertainment for just you? Or do you have to split it?
Do you have anything budgeted for DD that is still at home?

Clothing = Kohls
Grocery is household items,dining out also. entertainment is for all of us.
I have a bit of a cushion on utilities and $150 that goes into the checking that I use for any school expenses. Sometimes we go under budget in groceries. So we have a little wiggle room but not much!
