The one annoying thing about getting paid bi-weekly instead of twice a month is that it's hard to get a budget rhythm going. The way that the rent, loans, and paychecks line up is different every month so there's just no pattern, no point where I can really compare whether I'm ahead or behind where I was last month. It's a very good thing I was already in the habit of trying to keep a 200$ buffer in my account, because I just never seem to adapt to actually juggling the different numbers in my head so I know how much I need and how much I can spend.
