I had a job that paid semi monthly. Every 1st and 15th. This meme definitely fits on those 31 day months.

I miss being paid this way. It’s actually incredibly convenient to always have all bills and automatic transfers tied to exact dates you know you are being paid. I could keep my checking account at nearly zero with no float and have all my money earning interest

Being paid biweekly sucks because one month it’s the 8th and the 22 and then another month it’s the 12th and 26th and then for some reason there are two months where I get paid three times, etc… and I have to keep basically a whole paycheck sitting in checking to absorb bills and whatnot because the day I get paid is constantly changing.

A long time ago, I learned a way to do something that had a similar effect. Most places I've worked allow you to have a split deposit. So, I have two checking accounts at my bank. Add up all your monthly recurring expenses, then have a split deposit so that enough money goes to one of the checking accounts for the recurring expenses, anything leftover goes to your other checking account. You can spend all the money in the "spending" account because your bills are covered by the "bills" account.

I also do this. The account I can’t leave at zero is the one that gets automated bills. It’s an unfortunate side effect of being paid on a random day of the month instead of consistently on the 1st and 15th.

Uhhhh you need to take better care of yourself and do some serious reflection.

I can't be the only one that only eats hotdogs on special occasions.

they're so expensive.

Some joke I don't understand?

Just buy Bar-S brand hot dogs. They are usually a dollar for an 8 pack of hot dogs. Sometimes they will be on sale for 50 cents.

Try getting paid monthly. Week 1: 🦍🛋️ Week 2-4: 🌭🍞

It's wild to me, that there seem to be so many payment schemes.

In Germany you get paid monthly, either always on the first or always 15th, but that's pretty much all variation we have. Even unemployment benefits and parental leave support is monthly.

I just started a job getting paid monthly. The thing is, my first check at the beginning of this month was only for about a week and a half so I got no 🦍🛋️ this time around.
