How to budget weekly paychecks
Hi y’all I just started a new job and this is my first time in a job that pays weekly and I wanted some advice on how to budget. I just got done moving to a new city and get my first paycheck.
Estimated Pay (post tax and benefits) 500-600$/w
Rent and utilities: 960
Food: 60/w
Medication: 40$/m
Other monthly expenses: (160 for financed mattress)
Current Savings: 2200
Any advice is appreciated, I understand the finances mattress is above my means but I have chronic back problems and didn’t have a mattress at all. I’m also open to plasma donations to pay off the mattress asap, just need to find a new donation company to get a new donor bonus. Thank you!
Edit: I’m in St.Petersburg Florida
