Plus, the budget system you need if you live paycheck to paycheck
| | For years I’ve kept an Excel spreadsheet that maps out what bills I’ll need to pay out of which paycheck. It’s not pretty, but it helps me plot both small amounts of time and a whole year at once, which is great as I hate financial surprises. This week Casey Bond details a prettier system that does basically the same thing: help people budget when they live mostly paycheck to paycheck. Check that out below, even if you don’t sweat your salary. It’s a great way to organize your finances.

| | | | | For decades I’ve prided myself on being an extremely organized and effective dishwasher-loader. But it turns out I didn’t know everything, such as the fact that pots should be loaded on their sides and plates shouldn’t all face the same direction -- unless that direction is “toward the center.” Get even more helpful cleaning tips in Casey Bond’s definitive guide to loading the dishwasher. |
