So I’m a NYC DOE teacher. anyone else in here? (Would love your feedback) I’m getting a step salary increase next month, my pension buy back plan stops as well so my April month income will increase by $400 and then I have a contractual salary raise again in May. I’m not complaining (I am grateful) but I am not sure how to budget for these besides going off of patterns I’ve noticed in the past and making a worst case and best case scenario for each month and seeing what happens . Any suggestions ? What would Miko do ?
