    Pink Grin Payday

    I'm so happy it's payday, I had to make a thread about it. PAAAAAAAAAYDAY. (it's been five weeks since payday). If you have a job, how are you paid, weekly or monthly or what?

    I'm paid the last Friday every month, and the last two months have been five-weekers, it's slaughtered just about everyone at work. Two four-weekers next though

    I got exactly £200 (which isn't half bad seeing as though I'm on a shocking £3.93 hourly rate), which is probably half gone now. I got my belly pierced which was £21, gave my mate back her £20 she lent me, bought makeup etc totaling £25, had my hair cut which was also £20, bought hair dye and fake tan which got to £10.. uh oh!

    I make that paper biweekly. Thereafter, it promptly ends up going toward debt!

    I also get paid the last Friday of every month, but sometimes we get paid on the last day of the month instead, I dunno why and it's quite annoying. This month is like that, so I won't be getting paid til next Wednesday. I get paid £5.82 an hour, which I've been told is pretty good for what I do, dunno why they couldn't just put it up to £6 though.

    I keep forgetting to log my time. When I do get paid, I am going to get like two months of pay. Eebus. I pretty much get paid a week after turning in time, but in the states, a month with out pay is insane. We are paid weekly, everyother week, or twice a month - typically. This rate my check will be like <~snip>quite a bit of usd. My savings are low though, so I will likely need to get around to doing that.

    Freaking eoff, saving my skin once again.

    Yeah Zeldy I get paid a measly £4.86 per hour rubbish. Didn't even go up when I turned 18, theiving bastards.

    I get paid every Friday, so I was paid today.

    I think I'll be getting paid every two weeks at my new job, which is fairly normal. How do you manage only getting paid once a month?!

    Also, I'm making about $9.50/hour, if I remember correctly. That makes it about 6.40 GBP?

    I was paid once a week. I made $10/hr - it's not horrible when I started at 17, but I'm not as pleased with it anymore, since I've been with the company for two years and I'm turning 20 soon; I'd like a raise like everyone else gets when they work for a while.

    It's so nice to see some familiar faces. Rye, Zelda, so we meet again.

    I work a part time job, and I get paid $814.57 (which is 4500 kr) monthly, which is a lot, considering I only work three hours a day, a couple of times a week.

    Ever since my first job I have never lived paycheck to paycheck or been out of money, so payday's never been a big deal for me. I'm a saver-upper.

    That said, I get an unemployment check every two weeks. I think I have like six weeks left of it.

    I can relate vicariously. My mom lost her job in May last year, and has been applying for jobs pretty much every day since then.

    The same kind of applies for me. Our job market here is absolute , so although I apply for jobs, they want people with experience instead.

    Kind of hard to get experience when no one will smurfing hire you.

    I've also never really lived paycheck-to-paycheck. I get payed every 2 weeks and live pretty comfortably. Hawai'i is motha-smurfin' expensive, though! My small 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment is a whopping $1,900/month and a gallon of milk is like 5 bucks or some shiz.
    Go ahead and build a better messiah.

    For the work I do, I make a ridiculous amount of money.

    That being said, I don't know that my expenses balance to what I actually make... for the good!

    I have a ton of disposable income which I generally was saving, but due to an unforeseen incident, am now needing anyway.

    I won't bore you with the numbers.
