I was paid monthly at my previous job. I was there 4 years and could never get ahead. I'd budget out what I had coming in and what I needed to pay. Every time I thought I would make it through a month ok, something would happen - sick kids, car emergency, and lets not forget the last minute notice about field trips that require lots of extras for the daughter.
Now I get paid every week and the first month I worked here I had a final check coming to me from my old job and had already started drawing pay here. Add in my tax refund and I was sitting pretty.
Personally I think bi-monthly is easier to budget with and I would prefer to paid that way. Getting paid that way and getting my child support weekly would put me in great shape. But then to me anything is better than monthly.
