$2600 a month - residency net pay is this accurate?

[ladymoreta]

DH's was about $3500-3600 per month after taxes, insurance, etc. And living in OKC, that was a pretty decent amount.

Intern year our take home pay was $3600 per month and we were paid monthly. This year (PGY2), while the annual salary is $5K more a year for this program, I think our monthly take home pay will be similar because insurance is no longer free and we're paid bi weekly. Our living costs here are also significantly higher here than in our last city. I should mention though I think our PGY2 program is one of the higher paying programs out there.

We're at $2900/mo here. We have no health insurance costs, but our abnormally high property tax offsets that.

DH's residency was one of the top paying on the nation. He typically brought home ~$4400month. That doesn't include moonlighting because they can't do that intern year, anyway. No insurance is taken out because it's fully funded by the residency.

My jaw just hit the floor. Woah.

Ours was $3200 intern year and I'm thinking between $2900 and $3000 this year (haven't gotten the first paycheck yet so I don't know for sure). He should be able to moonlight starting next year so that should help quite a bit.

Also, SUPER low COL in that area. We are selling our 4 bedroom, 2400sf house for $154K and that is on the high end.

Apparently residency is community service in NC cause he's been working for 30 days tomorrow and we've seen no paycheck. And his documents say pay is bimonthly. Awesome.

Holy shit T&S. I've never heard of such.

Bi-monthly? As in every 60 days? Holy fuck!

None of the other residents at our institution have been paid either. Poky's DH (also an intern) just got word that his first check is in the mail but he's been working a month too. According to the rant thread, it's not unheard of for this to happen at the start of intern year. Something to keep in mind for budgeting since we have moving expenses, etc that we would not be able to cover at this point if I wasn't working. Thank goodness SIL has been watching dd (we pay her a little plus room and board) and we haven't had to pay a nanny for this first month.

To be fair, that first check WAS printed out on 7/3, they just didn't TELL him it was, or where to get it, and when he finally followed up, he was too busy to go get it from them, so they're sending it. If things had been tighter for us money-wise and he'd followed up right away, we would have had it sooner. The second check has already auto-deposited as promised.

It does appear to be the case that the first paycheck will NOT be auto-deposited, no matter how far in advance you set things up, though, and SNAFUs seem to be the norm with first-month payroll, so definitely be prepared, just in case!

No, sorry that was confusing. Every 2 weeks. But he's worked 4 and seen nothing.

I thought I was being dumb but I looked it up, here is the definition for "bimonthly". Super helpful, huh?:

bi·month·ly(b-mnthl)adj.1. Happening every two months.
2. Happening twice a month; semimonthly.

adv.1. Once every two months.
2. Twice a month; semimonthly.
