I overheard some girls talking at work yesterday and one mentioned that we get 3 paychecks in August. ??? Who knows these things? I didn't even know that Friday was a payday until someone told me. If they hadn't said that I wouldn't have found out until I went to pay my American Express card. (I left my Visa home one day and needed gas)

Anyhoo, people at work are funny with their money. The two times we get 3 paychecks in one month they use it as free money to blow. Which is fine for them, but wouldn't it be easier in the long run to have an emergency fund? or at least a bit of a cushion with the other bills?

Maybe it's just me, I'd freak out if something came up and I didn't have the money to take care of it.

After everything is caught up and I have a cushion, then I can think about blowing money.
