    What’s a middle of the month paycheck? Are some people getting paid twice a month?

        Ive never not been paid weekly. Ive worked labourer jobs, technical trade jobs, and office jobs, and all have paid me weekly.

        Fortnightly would be annoying. Monthly would be a nightmare.

            What about the first month? If you’ve got a buffer in the bank, it doesn’t matter much. But if you were living paycheck to paycheck, those 2-3 weeks might be enough to really set you back

            Have you heard of interest, and investments? Not to mention you don’t get paid until the end of your first month, which could be particularly bad for people who were unemployed prior to getting the job.

            Have the money on-hand earlier makes a huge difference.

            I’d love to be paid weekly if I could.

                Okay? Not sure why other people’s pay frequency preferences bother you.

                Yes, it’s the same amount of money, and you’re welcome to not care, but there are legitimate reasons for prefering more frequent payments.

                You have a nice day, friend.
