End of the month, and your paycheck is already gone. Managing money can sound like tracking every purchase. It doesn't. Instead of asking where your paycheck went, decide what it needs to do before you spend it. Cover bills and essentials first; then put some toward savings if you can, and leave the rest for flexible spending. The right split depends on your income and bills. Before payday, give your paycheck three jobs: bills, savings, spending. Check weekly, adjust.
