I havent worked at a job that pays bi weekly in years, and I refuse to do it ever again, if I ever leave my company, the first question I ask in an interview is Is the pay weekly or bi-weekly? If they say Bi-weekly, interview is over

That is actually quite a clever scheme.

Im extremely fortunate in that although Im paid fortnightly, Ive been able to regularly put savings away each fortnight for the last few years. When I was starting off in my job and the kids were young, it was much harder and that would have been a welcome option. That said, for the last decade and a bit Ive had a salary rather than hourly wage.

one becomes the rent check, the other involves making ends meet to make it to the 2nd one where one doesn't owe so much on bills.

That would at least protect your overtime hours from being moved to a different pay period (this used to happen to me and I would only get paid the normal wage for working overtime. Literally wage theft).

One of the "perks" of biweekly is I budget based on getting paid twice a month. So 2 times a year when I get a third check in a month, it feels like a little bonus.

My wife gets paid monthly which is a little annoying but I've never had a problem with bi-weekly. As long as you're not desperate for money I don't see the issue.

Do bills come bi-weekly in the US too?

I get paid semi-monthly which is slightly worse than biweekly because you dont get the surprise third check twice a year, but your checks are either 80, 88, or 96 hours and when I started I created my budget for the next year and decided to do it based on every check being 80 hours, which only happens like 3 times a year. So I get an extra 8-16 hours a check, plus OT.

All that extra pay goes to debt paydown and investing

Getting paid biweekly has never been an issue for me. Since if I need to spend money on anything I can just put it on my credit card and then pay it off when the paycheck comes in the worst case scenario.

Bi-weekly (i.e., every 2 weeks) is okay with me. Most if not all of my monthly bills can be paid with one paycheck.

They do for employees, but since I am technically a contractor, my only options are paper check or dick around with a PayPal account.
