I’ve always gotten paid weekly, my friend gets paid monthly I literally couldn’t live like that lol. I’m usually broke by like two days before payday as it is.

      I learned pretty early that if you can't pay, you can usually just let it go to collections. As long as you pay some of it before they sell the debt. It fucks your credit, yeah, but as long as you don't do too much it's basically a free loan that you can eventually negotiate with the collection agency (either get them to drop it or pay way less).

      This is only for emergencies btw. Don't be doing this shit on the reg. I had a $500 electricity bill I ignored after paying like $50 into it during the summer. They weren't cutting off service and I was moving so having that extra $450 really helped.

    I used to get paid monthly and I made it work by getting my credit card down enough to scrape by until the next cheque came in. They were good about making sure the money came in before the month ended so I was rarely late on any payments, so that's nice I guess. Getting paid twice a month now and it's much easier to manage things.

    Paid weekly, on Fridays.

    Paperwork for pay gets turned in Thursday at 10am, money is in the bank around midnite, 1am at the latest Friday morning.
