So my first paycheck came in the mail yesterday from my new part time job. For one day of work I got a check for $96. This is wonderful. I always have trouble predicting what my take home income is going to be, and I had been estimating about $75 per day worked. That $20 difference was a wonderful surprise! I am heading over to the bank to deposit this check now.
In other news, the redecoration of the bedroom is coming along well and has cost substantially less than I thought it would. It is still a bit expensive.
For furniture we decided to use what we have already. I am painting a lot of it high gloss white and getting a piece of mirror cut to lay on the top of the dresser. I think it should look great and will be quite inexpensive.
I still need to do something about a rug and drapes for the huge windows, but I think I will save up and look around for a while to see what the best options are.
Better than I expected

1.2% goes to medicare
always round the penny up (so if 1.495 is the amount sent, this rounds to $1.50).
depending on income, you will pay a certain amount. The income is always projected over 12 months. It also depends if you claim a single rate vs married rate (vs head of household rate).
You could then figure out per hour what you would be making (take home) and go from there.
