125 | Understanding Your Paycheck Cycle - Bi-Weekly vs. Twice Monthly Paychecks
This is the third episode of my podcast series about paychecks. Today, I discuss bi-weekly and twice-monthly pay cycles.
It doesn't matter how you get paid; it matters how you think about and manage your money. Whether you get bi-weekly or twice-monthly paychecks, zero-based budgeting is essential. I provide a practical framework for calculating your monthly spending plan based on your pay schedule and how to account for extra income. Most importantly, I stress the importance of maintaining a consistent budgeting approach regardless of pay frequency so you can spend drama-free.
Following these strategies will build financial confidence and break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. Tune in to learn more about budgeting for your pay cycle and transforming the way you think about and manage your finances.
