Efectivamente se trata de un juego de palabras. Lo he visto, por ejemplo, en publicaciones en redes sociales que hace la gente para intentar tomarse los efectos de la crisis con humor.
Equivale a la expresión "no llegar a fin de mes", que significa "el sueldo no es suficiente como para que el dinero dure hasta el último día del mes". Antes de que se acabe el mes, se ha acabado el dinero.
Un saludo.

La frase correcta debería ser: Me sobra mucho sueldo al final del mes.
That means: It remain me much salary at the end of the month. (or something like that)
Negative senteses: No me sobre mucho sueldo al final del mes.
That means: It does not remain me much salary at the end of the month. (or something like that)

Este es uno de los slogan de la llamada "Spanish revolution". Cuando en 2011 a raíz de la crisis económica empezó a producirse una respuesta de protesta espontanea en las plazas españolas.
Y como Cristina ha dicho significa que tu sueldo no te permite llegar al final de mes.

Esta frase puede tener muchos significados. Pienso que lo que tu quieres decir, es que tu mes se hace demasíado largo porque no te alcanza tu salario.

In Spain they pay monthly and normally you get paid at the beginning of the month, that's why to be able to get until the end of the month is such a achievement, specially nowadays. So that expression is basically a quite ironic way to say you don't earn enough money for living, that's why you say " I have still left plenty of month at the end of my wages". So you understand with that you expend all your money and the month has still plenty of days to come to its end which will lead you to the beginning of the next one which will mean get paid again.The original expression used in Spain is "llegar a fin de mes" which will be literally translated like "to get to the end of the month" but which actually means " to be able to survive until the end of the month with the money you earned, your wages".
Hope it helps.
