First aaaaaand.....fifteeeeeen. :lupepopcorn:

That’s what I actually prefer.

Every job I ever had I’d get paid bi-weekly on what ever set day (Tues, Wed, or Thurs)

My current is the first I ever got paid every other Friday, which is cool.... but I loved it years ago when I worked at this company and got paid the 1st and 15. That shyt was set and NEVER change.

I budget well now, but even much better when it was like that and would easily go back to that if I had my choice

In some places especially in the suburbs in Dallas it's necessity. Public transportation can go so far.

Are you saying making 250 every two weeks or having 250 after paying bills. The latter is common. The former means one isn't working full time and probably making less than $9 an hour

I can pay all my bills with one check and still have money leftover. Biweekly doesn’t bother me. But I’m also salaried, so theres that.

People have to learn how to budget. Aren’t bills due the same day every month? So you already know it’s coming. Budget accordingly.

Never had weekly checks...but I have had monthly pay checks and it sucked. Bi weekly is way better.

Getting a check every friday is a ting. Biweekly isn't bad, but weekly gives you a feeling.

I used to get paid monthly a few years back. You get used to it, but it was still kind of awful.

Biweekly is perfectly fine.

 

[patscorpio]

I've done both and currently on weekly which I feel is easier but some people just don't have enough discipline to handle biweekly checks. Gotta know how to save your money. Imagine getting paid monthly, they would panic.

i got paid monthly for 4+ years....it was a little adjustment at first but paying off all my monthly bills in 1 shot was cool...and now i kinda prefer it to biweekly

But I thought everyone on the Coli made 6 figures tho?

Lifestyle creep breh

People spend more when they make more, if you don't have budgeting skills you're fukked no matter what

Who said anything about race?

wow, people can't survive on a biweekly payment schedule now? i completely get monthly being hard to manage, but biweekly or semi-monthly is the GOAT.
or they need to learn how to pay their bills in portions.

Month one - pay full bill
2 weeks later - pay half of the bill
Month 2 (second two week pay period) - pay the other half

you're always on time, but instead of wiping out your paycheck with one big bill and waiting til the next, you spread it out.

People act like it’s splitting atoms to budget. Rent is due once a month. Split it in half over each check. Break up some of the smaller bills like car insurance and cell phone by due dates, and take care of them in full whatever check comes nearest to that due date. Voila. You know that first check is for half the rent/utilities and your cell phone and internet bills because those come out the 8th. Your car insurance and is due the 20th so that’s the next check along with the other half the rent.
