**((Arabian Sea)) Follow-ups:** In a world where living pressures are increasing and inflation rates are rising, salary management has become one of the most important skills for the financial stability of families and individuals. Many people find themselves in the middle of the month without enough liquidity to cover their basic needs, even though their salaries may seem sufficient on paper. This financial phenomenon is known as "mid-month syndrome," and it is not limited to a specific category or country, but affects millions of individuals who suffer from a lack of precise financial planning, as most of the monthly budget evaporates during the first few days after receiving the salary. The phenomenon of "mid-month syndrome" is exacerbated by what is known as mental spending, which is a common behavior in which individuals allocate their salaries in advance, before they actually reach their accounts, so a large part of the income becomes "psychologically reserved" from the beginning to cover fixed expenses such as rent and bills, in addition to deferred expenses and personal desires waiting to be fulfilled. Hence, the need to develop a clear financial plan from the first day of receiving the salary arises, as controlling expenses during the first five days of the month is a key to avoiding falling into a cycle of repeated financial deficits, and it also opens the way for building real financial stability, no matter the living pressures.
