I paid the butler. (Oh, wait. You said residency paycheck. Sorry.)

My first pay period went from June 27 to July 10. In that period I worked 6 days. After tax and medical and dental insurance deductions, I found made a whopping amount of bank - enough to cover my rent and electricity bill.

But I did have a chocolate martini and buy a plane ticket to Paris. 😎
 
16 lap dances, a terrible hangover, and a horrible case of jock itch!

God damn it, I'm broke aaaaaaaag-in!
 
I, too, bought shoes. And a skirt. I think some bills got paid too.

I also photocopied the check and paystub for posterity.
 
Before tax, it reduces your overall amount earned, which means less taxes taken out and the pre-tax money is 'worth more' because it hasn't been taxed yet.

Well, considering that my first pay period was 2 days, I promptly spent it all on a nice-ish dinner. (One regular paycheck isn't enough to pay my rent anyway, so there isn't much I can do with it besides put it in the bank. 😡 )
