    I think either option is going to need some reorganising if retiring from monthly paid employment. For people used to running their current account tight that is.

    For example we used to schedule all large outgoings at the start of the month, coming straight after salaries had come in. So the balance would start the month on a high, and a quick look at the balance just before salary gave an indication of how we did.

    If paid weekly, it's a matter of moving those outgoings to various parts of the month. Or running with a higher "float" in the current account.

    Not solely. More about what suits people best, and making sure everyone's aware of the options.
