$$$!

[shirenomad]

May was an oddity in my work schedule this year. I get paid biweekly on Tuesday, which normally comes out to two paychecks a month, and I budget accordingly. However, given that months are not exactly four weeks, every so often a third paycheck slips into a month, and I effectively get a 50% bonus as far as my budget is concerned. This year, a "bonus" paycheck came on May 29th, so I've got several hundred extra with which to enjoy myself. There's my DMV renewal (they're already asking for it, go figure), my Pirates 3 ticket and the dinner afterward with friends (already spent the day before I got the check), my Anime Expo pass, gas expenses for a trip up home and back in a couple weeks, a few extra hundred toward my student loan... and I'm seriously considering getting a bike. The office isn't all that far away and it'd probably pay itself back in fuel savings, plus, hey, exercise.
