Originally Posted By mele I get paid every two weeks with 2 of my clients. Sometimes I pay myself weekly or every two weeks with my 3rd client. My husband's pay period just switched to every 2 weeks today. (He also got a raise on today's check. Woo!) I prefer every two weeks, although, once I had a job where I got paid every week. I kinda liked that, too. It's kind of nice when a couple has staggered paychecks. It seems like more $ is coming in, even when it isn't. ;-)
Originally Posted By LPFan22 I get paid on a weekly basis. Right now it's very helpful. I grew used to being paid twice/month for many years. For a short time I was paid once/month and I hated that but I loved the job. I would be willing to go that route again if I could get a good school office job again.
Originally Posted By Tiggirl In almost every job I've ever had I get paid every 2 weeks. The only job I was ever paid weekly at was when I worked for Disney. And currently I'm getting my unemployment checks about every 2 weeks. Until November 1st which is when I start my new job!!! YAY! ~Beth

Originally Posted By tashajilek I have never heard of being paid only once a month?? I get paid every 2 weeks and i like it this way. If i got paid every week i could see spending a bit more knowing there will be another check on the way.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb 2 paychecks a month. I'd be happy with once a week or once a month simply because , hey it's a paycheck . I'm frugal enough to stretch out a monthly check and not over spend a weekly check. But twice a month is probably best.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I get paid every second Thursday. I don't like it much - at my old job, which I was at until January 2009, I got paid weekly, and I much preferred that. But I work for the biggest non-government organisation in Australia so I can understand why they're not issuing money every week! I'm getting used to fortnightly pay, actually, but it took a while to learn to budget for it. At first I would take my money out for the entire two weeks and would always run out by the time I got my next pay. Now I take a week's worth of money out at a time and wait until a full week has passed before I'm allowed access my allocation for the next week. Works much better that way!

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I get paid every 2 weeks & DH gets paid every week, so it's nice because there isn't that "living paycheck to paycheck" feeling anymore like when we were both getting paid every 2 weeks.
Originally Posted By Ursula I get paid weakly. Bumdpt! Every single Thursday, rain or shine. I like either weekly or every two weeks. I've had both and I can adjust. Once a month would kill me because I have my bills/budget set at a rotation that seems to not take a large chunk out at any given week.
