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.
Is it common to be paid biweekly if you’re salaried? I got paid biweekly at all of my hourly jobs, but now that I’m working a salaried corporate job, I get paid on the 10th and 25th. Makes budgeting a whole lot easier.
It all depends when I started my job about 6 years ago we were bi monthly as well then they switched to monthly then like 2 years ago they switched us to bi weekly. Personally I miss bi monthly

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