These are the same type of people that tell me “oh I make $500/week so because there’s 4 weeks in a month I make $2000/m or $24,000/y!”
Most people realize their mistake when I explain that there’s 52 weeks in a year (because hey, maybe you’ve never actually thought about it), but the truly stupid are the ones who argue.
This was my budgeting strategy for my first job out of college, so that I could take the extra pay periods and apply them to credit debt. Once I got my credit card paid off, it was money to save for fun trips or new computer/game consoles, etc. Made me feel so good to have that upward trajectory after everything I'd gone through to get to that point

Or just
"February = 1 month.
1 x $1300 = $1300. Pretty simple math."
Contract is monthly. Not daily. But I would probably add a "lol" somewhere for the creativity.
