<prompt> Human: For me, the most difficult part is dealing with the paycheck periods where three entire weekends go by. I do most of my spending on the weekend so this is really a killer. Getting paid bi-weekly is SO easy as you budget for exactly two weeks time and exactly two weekends and you get a bonus check twice a year. Any advice on how to budget more soundly when paid on the 15th and the last day of the month? Its not really the fixed bills I have trouble with.. again its really those few extra days that might span over that third weekend before payday that really kills me  <response>: You just have to make a monthly budget instead of a weekly budget. This will probably mean you wont be able to party as much on the five weekend months.
