Re: Question for pros, how do you \"pay\" yourself?
I use my credit card for all the little purchases throughout the month (gas, groceries, etc) and pay it off each month.
I withdraw the last week of the month to pay all my bills for the next month.
I withdraw once more mid-month to add to savings.
The only times this does not apply is the month I went on vacation and the bad month I had where I only brought in 1500. Not enough with 2 kids (child support + joint custody), ex wife, girlfriend, and all my bad habits. That's why I set aside as much as possible. Difficult to grow the roll, but much safer.
