5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays?

Dear Internet World,

You may have seen this little quote (particularly as a Facebook status) doing the rounds...

This year July has 5 Fridays 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So copy this to your status and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui. Those who read and do not copy will be without money...!!!
It's not true. Chinese Feng Shui aside.... July will next have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays in 2016. Every month with 31 days has three days which appear 5 times. For example, this year August will have 5 Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Next year, January will have 5 Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. Which days happen to have 5 appearances just varies from year to year.

Check your computer calendar before reposting.

Sincerely,
Leah
