Good Lord!! When I read the thread title, I was _ **absolutely certain** _ that you meant, outlawing biweekly paychecks in favor of WEEKLY paychecks!!

Why the hell would someone be trying to _force_ other people to budget and spend in the same way that they do? Bad enough people presume to do this with people receiving social services, but… WORKING PEOPLE?

Dude, there _ **is no one right way** _ to attend to one’s own finances!

P.S. Remember, for me, “dude” is a unisexual term. No offense intended.\*\*
