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

Fortnightly seems to be the norm here in Australia

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.

Monthly is just fine if you understand it's the same amount of money regardless.

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

I'm sorry you're that lacking in budgetary skills.
