Won't even really notice it. Goes into the checking account and then will most likely end up going into my brokerage account a few days later.

I agree with Redmond that the "extra" thing doesn't make sense to me. The "extra" paycheck just seems like an excuse to spend more money.

Mmm yeah... It's not really extra, but most people do their net worth calcs on a monthly cycle... so it does appear like your income spikes 50% but intuitively most people know it's not true.

I calculate our NW based on monthly income, but I base that on annual income divided by 12, not on 2 biweekly paychecks.

I'm one of those who always forgets about it. I'll probably just toss it in my Roth.

And buy a new romance novel. My favorite author has a new one coming out this month. :)

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

Yeah, I never remember which months have 3 paycheques either. Frankly, since we get paid bi-weekly, on a given day I don't really know if I get paid this week or next. I only know we had a 3 paycheque month after the month is over when I'm preparing my month-end balance sheet.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
