I have a friend who gets paid quarterly...
Accountants must love that job
Here in germany that's the norm. It's unusual to get paid in other timeframes
Yes, I know, I myself live in Germany and know many good ice soup recipes, or as we call it: Eissuppe
I get paid once a month and it sucks big time...
Have you tried pretending the last $1 million in your bank account is zero dollars?
Too busy pretending the $0 in my bank account is $1 million
Something I did after getting married but wish I’d done all along:
Two different accounts. (Three if married.) One for income and non-discretionary spending. One (per person) for “allowance”, which gets a set amount transferred from the main account every week.
Keeps your essentials partitioned from the fun stuff, which keeps the essentials safe and the fun guilt-free. And it allows you to have a steady stream of allowance even if you only get a paycheck monthly or biweekly.
I've been doing that with my fiancee for 1.5 years now and I love it. There's never any concern about either of our spending and we try to equalise our 'allowance' parts so that we both feel comfortable buying things for ourselves.
I have to say though, that's coming from a context where we both earn more than enough for upkeep -+ fun stuff. I can imagine this wouldn't work if you're trying to make ends meet every month.
I’m poor, so Volca FM is enough for me
You're better off. I had a DX7 for a little while. It was insanely complicated to program and I could never get it to do anything that didn't sound like 80s cheese.
oooooooooh ice cereal!
