When you are paid every two weeks, you yearly pay is paid out over 26 pay-periods. Twice a month, it's over 24 pay-periods. So your getting more each month than you would if you were paid every two weeks. But then again, when you are paid every two weeks, there are two months each year that you get three paycheques in one month. Your not paying more or less taxes with either system. It all evens out at the end of the year.
At least getting one pay at the end of the month, you have the funds to pay your rent/mortgage before you've spent it.
Me:
I was with you up till the last line of your post. It does not matter when you get paid, these expenses of which you speak, rent/mortgage are NOT negotiable. If you have a decent job, get paid a week before the end of the month and spend your rent/mortgage payment, you are an idiot. So, as I imply, it doesn't matter when you get paid, but having 2 months with 3 paydays has worked for me for the last 10 years.
