    Watch out for places (like gyms) that bill biweekly instead of monthly. You may think it lines up with months, but over the course of a year you pay an additional 8.6% more.

      But, if you get paid biweekly and all of your bills are monthly, you basically get an extra paycheck each year.

        Two extra I believe. And every few years three. BTW advertisers know this and try to sell big ticket items like TVs when that happens.
