How to use the extra paychecks
If you budget your monthly bills from two paychecks, every third paycheck is money your budget does not depend on. That makes it the easiest money of the year to put to work: pay off a credit card, add a month to your emergency fund, or fill a sinking fund for holidays and car repairs.
In 2027 that happens in May, November. Mark them now so they don't disappear into everyday spending. The biweekly budgeting guide walks through the setup.
