Biweekly is great! Especially if you have sent, but some breathing room - set up your budget such that half the monthly sent payment comes out of each check, and twice per year you'll have a 'bonus' one that can be applied to the principle balance or applied to.something else - I used to have it be a large chunk of our 'gifts' budget.
I really probably shouldn’t have used the word biweekly, tbh -- the pay structure is actually the 15th and last day of each month, which seems unnecessarily complicated to me but there you have it....

you know we even have a word in english for the two week time frame? fortnightly is such a helpful word and I just can't work out why americans don't use it
Don’t look at me, I’m not the one who broke off from British rule two hundred and fifty years ago. :D I could just straight up start using it but in America you get sniggers and “aren’t we fancy” for using a word like fortnightly.

It's crazy how this can wreck your financial world lol We switched from every 2 weeks ( which I loved) to the 15th & 30 (grrr) I sure miss knowing every other Friday there will be a deposit in my account. I know you'll have fun with your new spreadsheets!!!! :D
I’m already figuring out how to restructure it! The way I had built it, the top row of the sheet was “rollover from last month”, then add paycheck, subtract mortgage, and “total surplus” and everything for the month was deducted in columns from total surplus. Now it looks like probably what I’m going to have to do is have a rollover, paycheck one, total surplus, deduct in columns until the 15th, then a second rollover, paycheck two, and total surplus again. But ALL my bills including my mortgage come out on the first of the month, so likely I’ll have to drop half my mortgage into a second checking account at the start of the month, half on the 15th, and then pay the next month’s mortgage out of the previous month’s paycheck.

Like the movie itself is supposedly a terrible white man savior piece and haven't heard anything good about it, but the gif sets are great.
I have heard it’s very terrible, yes. We might watch it on mute.
