Question

Hey ya!  so tomorrow starts a new pay period for us.Hey ya! so tomorrow starts a new pay period for us. We get paid twice a month. I'm wondering what do you guys do with your leftover cash in your envelopes? I can't even believe I have cash left over but I do in more than one envelope. This has completely changed my life. I am still in disbelief at how amazing this system works!  so do you roll your leftover cash into the next payperiod or back into checking acct, or? ‍♀️ im feeling stuck a little 

Answer 1

We will be putting our leftover money into savings.  congrats on having leftovers!  

Answer 2

We get paid twice monthly too. I’m rolling over mid-month then emptying them to savings at the end of the month I think. :)

Answer 3

I budget my grocerie envelope into single weeks. Having 4. 5 weeks per pay period. I put the extra in the 0. 5 envelope because I know we will have weeks where I spend more due to birthdays or family gatherings. So my 0. 5 is like my groceries sinking fund

Answer 4

Our focus is debt right now so each payday we throw anything leftover from the last paycheck at whatever debt we are focusing on.  

Answer 5

I am paid twice a month. The first pay check the remaining cash is rolled over during the second pay check anything remaining is put towards debt.  

Answer 6

If you have your emergency fund in place, put the leftover towards debt.
