Actually, everyone learns to budget pay periods whether each week or
once a month. Well, the smart ppl do anyway.

Getting paid once a week, many of my coworkers would spend it all over
the weekend and be borrowing lunch money by Monday. They never saved a
bit for the end of month bills then be in trouble by the end of the
month. Especially if we got a less than full week down the road.

Living paycheck to paycheck is the perfect recipe for fail.
