I bet you could get a really neat vest to match that sofa

Right, they should've gotten two of the couches.

You get 10k every 2 weeks? I wish I got that much

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's like 400k a year pre-tax salary. If they're making that much and still can't afford a nice meal, they've got some serious problems with budgeting and restraint.

Does your year have 24 months or your months have 8 weeks?

It would still work with the biweekly

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

[–] fishpen0@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] fishpen0@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

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.

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

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 12 hours ago

How bout living off of credit cards with no consideration for financial responsibility because money just feels made up at this point?

Month 1-6: 1000006487

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 5 hours ago

Japan is monthly for at least salaried jobs and most pay on the 25th (or prior business day if weekend or holiday). I think once-monthly is the legal minimum, but some jobs will pay cash same day.

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