Is a third paycheck really extra?
A three-paycheck month can create real room in a biweekly budget, but the whole check is not automatically free.
Example:
$2,500 available after the third paycheck $900 unpaid bills due before the next paycheck $350 groceries, transport, and other essentials $200 reserve $1,450 protected $1,050 currently unassigned
The check is extra only after the next pay window is covered.
