my buddy told me this a long time ago...
Base your bills on 2 weeks pay
Base your folding money on one weeks pay
Take the last weeks pay and put it back.
Said you’d always be set...
I don’t follow that rule, but I’m not in deep debt either, I just like to get by and have a good time in between, and make sure my kids are taken care of.
That’s pretty solid advice - wish I were diligent about following that advice.
