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.
Idk about the welfare dog, I’d probably opt for a cheese toast.
That is one awesome sofa. Shame it’s the price of my net worth
It would still work with the biweekly
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.
Food $200 Rent $800 Gorilla couch $10 000
Someone help me budget this.
That’s easy. Let’s assume you take home 18,000 a month. To get the couch, cut your food budget in half and skip rent for 1 month.
Using the extra $900 to hire a moving company to get the couch in.
Next month, you going to face late fees Again, cut the food budget in half, and use the $900 for rent.
Repeat for matching Tiger and Panther couches.
If your landlord complains about the late and unpaid rent, just remind them its all for the couches. They’ll understand and leave you alone. That being said, be sure to place the couches so one can be easily moved in front the door whenever you’re there.
Does your year have 24 months or your months have 8 weeks?
You pay like 40% tax at that salary.
Are you high? That’s not how tax brackets work and 10k/2weeks is 240k a year
I did not use a calculator the first time, but I don’t think I was that far off.
This calculator says that if you live in California making $400k a year, your takehome pay is $238k
Try getting paid monthly. Week 1: 🦍🛋️ Week 2-4: 🌭🍞
How bout living off of credit cards with no consideration for financial responsibility because money just feels made up at this point?
Month 1-6:
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.
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.
laughs in weekly pay
You lucky bastard. Where I live it’s basically monthly or fortnightly. I’ve never heard of anyone being paid weekly.

Uhhhh you need to take better care of yourself and do some serious reflection.
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.
I miss being paid this way. It’s actually incredibly convenient to always have all bills and automatic transfers tied to exact dates you know you are being paid. I could keep my checking account at nearly zero with no float and have all my money earning interest
Being paid biweekly sucks because one month it’s the 8th and the 22 and then another month it’s the 12th and 26th and then for some reason there are two months where I get paid three times, etc… and I have to keep basically a whole paycheck sitting in checking to absorb bills and whatnot because the day I get paid is constantly changing.
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 at the end of the month.
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.
I also do this. The account I can’t leave at zero is the one that gets automated bills. It’s an unfortunate side effect of being paid on a random day of the month instead of consistently on the 1st and 15th.
I bet you could get a really neat vest to match that sofa
Do you have something more like a sweater?
Nah that’s just week 3. Mortgage gets taken on week 1.
I can’t be the only one that only eats hotdogs on special occasions.
they’re so expensive.
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.
This is accurate as hell
