Monthly Payments Screw Us!

You probably have noticed by now that you get paid for every 2 weeks of work.  If the month is longer… you make more money… if it’s shorter… you make less money.  Because you get paid by the hour… or BY THE DAY.

BUT

My rent (or mortgage payment) is due BY THE MONTH.  They don’t care if it was a 28 day month and I didn’t make as much money.  Nope.  They expect to be paid just as much for a 28 period as a 31 day period.

THATS NOT FAIR.

If I check into a hotel, they charge me by the day, and I will pay less for 28 days than I would for 31 days.

CAR PAYMENT… same thing.  They want the same amount of money no matter how short the month is.   What’s up with that?  CREDIT CARD COMPANIES… same thing.

In fact…  EVERYTHING GOING OUT from me works that way… but NOT the money coming in.

House payment, car payment, electric bill, cable bill, Gym membership, garbage bill…  they all take the same on a 28 day month as a 31 day month.

BUT I HAVE 3 DAYS LESS INCOME!

I think these bills should be pro-rated.

It’s pretty simple to see that I only had 29 days of cable TV delivered to my house this Feb (leap year).  So I should be pro-rated 2 days worth.  OR, make the bill slightly less for months under 30 days, and slightly more for 31 day months.
