Millennials would not have liked our monthly paychecks at all. They’d have had to practice patience as well as budgeting over 4 weeks.
When it’s your first job out of college, those monthly paychecks are killer.
I had a job once that paid monthly. When I took the job, I had been unemployed for a few months so cash was extremely tight. That first month was a real challenge. the second got better and after that, no big deal.
My son works fast food. He just bought a used truck and it was about $1000 more than he had budgeted due to some inspection repairs.
He told me yesterday that he was planning to pay me in full next week when he gets paid but asked if he could keep a little of the money so he could buy gas.
I’m “thinking” about it.
I should tell him ‘No. That’s what you get for buying a truck with a V10.”
Why, back in my day, we got paid every two years. And we liked it.
