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

    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’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.

    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.

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

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

      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.

      Here, pretty much everyone gets paid monthly. Most often on the 25th or slightly earlier if the 25th is on a weekend. Most bills are as far as I know paid a few days after the 25th or on the 31th

  • MisterFrog@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You lucky bastard. Where I live it’s basically monthly or fortnightly. I’ve never heard of anyone being paid weekly.

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

  • Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Some joke I don’t understand?

    Just buy Bar-S brand hot dogs. They are usually a dollar for an 8 pack of hot dogs. Sometimes they will be on sale for 50 cents.

  Yeah. Most of my formative years where spent with both of my parents living off assistance. It was steak on the 3rd of the month and ramen the rest of the month.

  When I moved out I was flabbergasted to learn many of my classmates & colleagues considered McDonald’s cheap and would eat out regularly, and some of them didn’t even count fast food as eating out. While we would go only like when we were traveling to visit family.
