Today was payday! I checked my bank online today and see the deposit. Yeah! The only thing I'm not happy about is that my new job pays me every two weeks. I much prefer to get paid only once a month.
I don't understand why companies pay every two weeks. Isn't it more expensive for them to have to run payroll 26 times per year rather than 12 times?

I've posted before about where my MIL works. They get paid weekly. The owner wants to switch to every other week but a bunch of people complained that they couldn't make that switch as that would leave them with no pay for 1 week and they'd have no money to live. That means they all have zero savings and couldn't last 1 week without a check. Pretty sad, but much more common than we might think.
