I like it better than every other week.
Works better with my autopayments.
I think.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like twice per month. GF and I throw a set amount into a shared account each pay day for bills and shared expenses. Works well.

I get paid bi-weekly, which I like. It used to be that one pay was for rent and bills, and the other was for me. Now my mortgage is taken out bi-weekly (and double my rent) so little of it's for me anymore.

Mine too. I like it better than every other week.
Yeah, I thought I wouldn't, but I've realized that it makes budgeting so much easier. Of course, it helps that my first check is roughly rent+bills+1/2 of my monthly cash budget. That leaves the second check for debt, savings, and the other 1/2 of my cash budget. Shorter months means I have a bit more cash on a weekly basis, which is nice.

My pay days are the 15th and last day of the month
Same. I really hate that my credit card bill needs to be paid a little over a week after I pay rent.
In other news, OH MY GOD, people, stop sending me work! I officially have Too Much To Do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some credit card companies will let you change the due date as a one-time courtesy....

I like getting paid. Period.
I actually find it easier to budget, but that's only because the paycheck hits a few days before a bunch of the biggest required monthly expenses.
I wish this were the case. We get paid on the 5th, which is 5 days after rent is due. And with LAUSD, no one is ever positive that they will get paid, correctly or not.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ouch. Mine's on the 25th, which makes all the difference (and which imo is one of the best nobody-really-thinks-about-it bennies the looniversity does).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, I thought I was having trouble getting shit done this morning, but then I had a burrito for lunch, and all I can think now is naaap!

I think it's time to start looking for a new job for next year. My thoughts on it are: maybe an elementary classroom instead and one near where Grace is? Maybe a high school classroom? I'm tired of the middle school vibe (where in I am the Bouncer or the Day Care Provider) But mostly, I'm tired of my commute.
