a strange phenomenon is it psychological or logical? Teachers get paid once a month

for years it was always the last working day of every month

this year, our district changed it to the 20th every month

now it seems like my money goes farther? Am I spending less, maybe a little less on food but not specifically

is it because there is a few less days between checks?

this is just weird but cool at the same time

1. I went from getting paid bi-monthly to weekly. Thought I'd hate it but I

really liked it. Seemed like I had more money -- not sure if it was psychological or not. :shrug:

2. My sister's husband went from monthly to biweekly.

She rants and fumes about it. Says nothing comes out even anymore.

4. My favorite setup was when my partner and I were both paid once a month, a couple

weeks apart. One check covered rent and all bills, the other was living expenses and fun.
