- It would still work with the biweekly

You get 10k every 2 weeks? I wish I got that much
- That's like 400k a year pre-tax salary. If they're making that much and still can't afford a nice meal, they've got some serious problems with budgeting and restraint.
  
  Does your year have 24 months or your months have 8 weeks?
  
  Food $200 Rent $800 Gorilla couch $10 000
  Someone help me budget this.

Try getting paid monthly. Week 1: 🦍🛋️ Week 2-4: 🌭🍞
- How bout living off of credit cards with no consideration for financial responsibility because money just feels made up at this point?
  Month 1-6:
- It's wild to me, that there seem to be so many payment schemes.
  In Germany you get paid monthly, either always on the first or always 15th, but that's pretty much all variation we have. Even unemployment benefits and parental leave support is monthly.
  
  Japan is monthly for at least salaried jobs and most pay on the 25th (or prior business day if weekend or holiday). I think once-monthly is the legal minimum, but some jobs will pay cash same day.
- I just started a job getting paid monthly. The thing is, my first check at the beginning of this month was only for about a week and a half so I got no 🦍🛋️ this time around.

Uhhhh you need to take better care of yourself and do some serious reflection.
- Right, they should've gotten two of the couches.

I had a job that paid semi monthly. Every 1st and 15th. This meme definitely fits on those 31 day months.

laughs in weekly pay
- chuckles in monthly pay
- You lucky bastard. Where I live it's basically monthly or fortnightly. I've never heard of anyone being paid weekly.

I bet you could get a really neat vest to match that sofa
- Do you have something more like a sweater?

That is one awesome sofa. Shame it's the price of my net worth

This is accurate as hell

Idk about the welfare dog, I'd probably opt for a cheese toast.

Nah that's just week 3. Mortgage gets taken on week 1.

I can't be the only one that only eats hotdogs on special occasions.
they're so expensive.
- Some joke I don't understand?
  Just buy Bar-S brand hot dogs. They are usually a dollar for an 8 pack of hot dogs. Sometimes they will be on sale for 50 cents.

Yeah. Most of my formative years where spent with both of my parents living off assistance. It was steak on the 3rd of the month and ramen the rest of the month.
When I moved out I was flabbergasted to learn many of my classmates & colleagues considered McDonald's cheap and would eat out regularly, and some of them didn't even count fast food as eating out. While we would go only like when we were traveling to visit family.
