I get paid by two jobs this Thursday, then my seasonal job I should of been paid last weekend, then again in 2 weeks. But since my boss is giving me a week to two weeks off I cant guarentee when I will get the money. I hate waiting to see how much the money will come in, I am sitting here trying to so my budget for this month off estimates. I will have enough to pay off my VISA, all my bills, then put away $340.00 for my car insurance, $100.00 misc. I will have to wait to make sure exactly how much I have left over but I should have about $1,000 left over. Which I know I will need gas in the car, an oil change, groceries as well. September mid I have to bring the brats for their checkups and shots so I will be putting money away for that as well as they all go the same day.

Personally, there is not a person here I imagine who really enjoys waiting for payday and most of the time it is often never enough. When trying to budget and make sure all of the bills are paid on time, etc. it can be quite hard and a pleasure when you know they are all paid and you have money left over even. But to plan ahead like you have done is a smart thing.

Call me anal but Ive always been like this paying and budgetting ahead. I dont know how people can sleep at night knowing they owe thousands and keep charging it. I am trying to put away so much each month to move out, and buy a trailor with it.

The only time I've ever had to wait is when I first start a job. It always seems that I come into the job on the same week that the people get paid, so I've had to wait two- three weeks before, and sometimes (like with the job I have now) as little as a week. I hate having to wait though, especially when I know I need to pay for something, or I've gone without clothes I've really needed for so long. For me, I have to REALLY need the clothes to buy it. I have a pair of pants for work, I need to get a new pair as I'm running on these as my last pair, and the belt? despicable, I may have to ductape it before work tomorrow... Hopefully the boss will call and say he's got your check, you think he'd meet you halfway or you could pick it up on your way somewhere?

I would have hate to have to wait for pay also . I get my pay right to my bank account and it is fixed date never late . I would hate to have a plan and my money dont show up on time after my hard labor . I wish I could make a income online

Good for you! I am still waiting for mine. Got my withdrawal process last 4 days ago. I think you may hate about the payday is the delays. And instead you got the money to pay all your bills and save some, earnings will go to your debt instead and loans. It is really hard when you have a seasonal job unless you got a good reliable job that can help sustains all your need. Let's just pray over and thank God for the blessings. :)

Everyone hates waiting for payday especially when you have to pay for something really expensive and that's why i work in the internet so i can pay early on important things.

sadly, i only get paid once a month which makes it really tough but my hubby gets paid every week which helps. there are a couple of husband and wife teams that work where i work and i don't know how they do it. they must have to budget really well.

Wow, a lot of spending just like me. I can relate here because I'm, for one, trying to make both ends meet. Need to work hard to earn to ocver my monthly and daily expenses. That's why I need to save and have a part time job to have additional earnings. Good luck to all of us. Just can't wait for the payday. Thanks

It is said to hear that you have to wait for your pay more and you don't know exactly when you are getting it. Well the place I worked before i had a fixed date and I knew how much is going to come. But now since I am at home, I just work online and that also I know when it coming to cash out. It must be a pain to wait for the pay. Have a wonderful day ahead.
