    My wife is paid 4 weekly and it's a pain sometimes trying to transfer savings out of our current account and into our high interest savings accounts, whilst trying to maintain enough in the account for DD's etc.

    However (and I don't know if you've worked this out yet?), look on the bright side.....

    Once a year you'll get paid twice in the same month. ;)

    We get paid four weekly. I judge my four weekly wage to be my monthly wage, and budget accordingly. Then, once a year, I get a 'free month', where I get a wage but don't have any bills to pay. This either goes on savings or treats!
