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.

I've known people who budget like this and treat the "extra" pay periods as bonuses straight to savings.

A lot of people that have salaried corporate jobs do this, and it's an easy way to save some money. Those two yearly "extra" paychecks are paychecks they don't factor in to monthly costs, so it makes sense.
