Real Scenarios from Multi-Job Workers
Teacher + Retail
Sarah: Full-time teacher (bi-weekly) + weekend retail (weekly)
Setup: Teaching income covers bills via funding schedule. Retail income goes to "Extra Money" slice for savings and fun. Traffic light keeps her from overspending between retail checks.
Nurse + Per Diem
Marcus: Hospital (bi-weekly) + per diem shifts (irregular)
Setup: Hospital income auto-funds essentials. Per diem deposits trigger a rule that splits 50% to emergency fund, 50% to vacation slice. Never touches per diem for daily expenses.
Office + Freelance
Alex: 9-5 office job (monthly) + freelance design (project-based)
Setup: Office salary covers living expenses automatically. Freelance payments go 30% to taxes, 40% to student loans, 30% to travel fund. Keeps freelance and salary income completely separate.
Two Part-Time Jobs
Jamie: Coffee shop (weekly) + pizza delivery (weekly, different days)
Setup: First paycheck of the week funds rent slice. Second paycheck funds groceries and utilities. Tips from both jobs go to "Cushion" slice for irregular weeks. Safe-to-Spend prevents overspending.
Multiple Jobs FAQ
How do I handle two different pay schedules?
Set up separate funding schedules for each job! Job 1 bi-weekly? Create a bi-weekly schedule. Job 2 weekly? Create a weekly one. Smart Paycheck Detection recognizes which paycheck is which and runs the right schedule automatically.
Can I prioritize one job's income over another?
Absolutely! For example, main job covers bills and groceries automatically via funding schedule. Second job funds savings, debt payoff, or fun money. You decide which income goes where by setting up different slice allocations in each funding schedule.
What if one job's hours fluctuate?
Your Safe-to-Spend adjusts automatically! If Job 2's paycheck is smaller this week, you'll see yellow or red earlier. Build a "Buffer" slice during good weeks to cushion the low weeks. The traffic light warns you to spend less when income dips.
How do I save money when juggling multiple jobs?
Automate it! Set Job 2's funding schedule to send a percentage to your "Savings" slice every paycheck. Even if it's just $20/week, automation makes it happen without thinking. You can also set up auto-contributions that pull from Safe-to-Spend gradually.
Can I track which job pays for what?
Yes, through slice naming and funding schedules! Create slices like "Bills (Main Job)" and "Fun Money (Side Gig)". Each funding schedule shows you exactly which paycheck funded which slice. You can review funding history to see the breakdown.
What if I quit one of my jobs?
Simply pause or delete that job's funding schedule. Your other job continues funding slices as normal. Your Safe-to-Spend recalculates based on your remaining income. You can adjust slice funding amounts to match your new income reality.
Do I need a special plan for multiple jobs?
Nope! If both jobs deposit into the same bank account, Starter ($5/month, 1 bank connection) works great. If you use 2 different banks, get Budget Pro ($10/month, 2 bank connections). The features are the same—it's just about how many banks you connect.
