Paid Monthly

Cheers for the advice anyway...my last job was permanent but we got paid weekly, before that i was temping and still getting paid weekly, so that's all im used to, this new job is permenent (after 6 month probation anyway) but ive to wait until like 25th May before i get paid, would it be wrong of me say my second week in to maybe ask for an advance on my wages?:lol:

Same with me... all in the head.


I've got multiple accounts but that's just because they're in different currencies (dollars, euros, rubles) and a 4th account back home.

Good to split up your savings to balance out currency fluctuations... and to avoid exchange rates when travelling (well, at least, when traveling to Europe or the US)

We do have a saving account, but we try to pretend it only exist to pay in. Other than that, one account and enough

Some firms do that, our one does if you need a sub for the month ahead!

I don't understand how you manage with this money strategy. Either you are rich or Tom takes daily note of your money :lol:


This is what we do: we have a shared account with my salary, all our bills and Pep's incomes go there aswell. Whenever we have some money left at the end of the month, if we get money back from taxes or Pep gets paid a huge project we put this money left to a saving account. Actually for a year and a half we lived just my salary and our savings cos pep was setting down the studio and it took a bit to generate fluent cash income

OMG that sounds so complicating - we just spend and go and fortunately it always works out for the best :lol:
 
At least being paid monthly you can spend just that special 5 days living like a king!

In fairness, the only thing that should affect anyone doing the switch from monthly to weekly would be the first month of no money, which I'm sure we can all do once. From then on it's all about 2 bank accounts!
 
I get paid monthly and I have nearly all my bills coming out at the beginning of the month - otherwise I get a bit screwed.

I end up spending far too much on partying, and then every now and again the credit card gets a bashing :?

Always living on pasta by the end of the month :roll: :lol:
 
I have always been paid monthly, except for times when I was temping and got paid weekly. I like the monthly pay.
 
I'm in the fortunate position of having my own business which means i can pay myself weekly (great for repaying the weekend's blow out) and monthly (which takes care of the bills).

On top of that i can pay myself one off or yearly dividends and also all the profit left at the end of the year - which i usually leave in the business for re-investment.

So ..... into the Dragon's Den's you go!

Yeah, but this is all in Sheffield.

Swings and roundabouts, eh?

;)
 
i usually get paid by the contract its really hard as i may not get paid for 3-4 months

(right now im on a 4 month contract where i have got 50% upfront - trying not to spend it is a NIGHTMARE as its burning a hole in my pocket via TopSHop at the moment!)
 
Why don't you try and shift a few Direct Debits along the month until you get paid?
A friend was telling me how she has just shifted her mortgage from going out the 1st each month until the 31st, thus having 2 months to get her money probs sorted.
 
Every job I ever had has either been weekly or bi-weekly. Works out nice as when you budget for the month you get two or four extra paychecks a year. The way it works for Me and the Missus right now is she'll get paid this friday and I'll get paid the next. So its just like getting paid weekly with four extra paychecks a year. Dual income rocks!!! More money for holidays that way 8) 8) 8) !!!
 
well fu*k this job anyway ive had enough im gonna jack it in, got my payslip and i was hammered with tax despite me saying to the payroll person that i was having trouble getting my P45 from my last job and could they ensure i wasn't on emergency tax what happens, i pay emergency tax, what a cu&t i said as much to them as well:evil: cant deal with having to wait u til end of June before another payday with **** all cash so think ill quit and look for a weekly paid job.
 
Was actually paid weekly in my first full time job after graduating. Seemed good at the time but it meant it was difficult to save. Have been paid monthly since.

I'm the opposite i could if i really needed save whilst getting paid weekly whereas not a chance monthly.

I've made a decision im going to pack this job in and spend time looking for another one that pays weekly, needs must.
