<prompt> Human: I get paid bi-weekly. I have a decent amount saved in my savings account equal to about 2.5 months worth of take-home pay, but towards the end of the two weeks in between paychecks I usually have between 100-300 in my checking account every paycheck I transfer money to my savings account Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?  <response>: Paycheck to paycheck was defined to me as Having too much month at the end of your moneyHaving a 300 buffer at the end of the month is HUGE compared to some peoples finances. Paycheck to paycheck to me is getting a bill on the 15th and having to wait until the 1st to be able to pay it, while barely avoiding fees or getting small fees on top of it. Edit: Also, you have savings. Most people living for their next paycheck arent able to save anything. This generally causes a vicious cycle of I just got a bonus! Now it has to go to this emergency...
