I get paid bi-monthly also, on the 1st and 15th of the month. I think it helps keep our bills in check. H gets paid every other Thursday and it can be really frustrating to work with. But, it is nice when he gets three paycheck months, it's like a little bonus!
I'm with Evan, but I guess I would have to start buying lottery tickets to make it happen
All of my jobs have paid bi weekly, which was fine. H's job also pays bi weekly and he'd rather that than yearly. He's an environmental field technician and sometimes works overtime, for which he gets paid time and half.
Bi-monthly, the 15th and 30th. H gets paid every Friday. He starts his new job Monday, so im not sure what their pay periods will be. It works out fine for us, i plan to pay certain bills with my check and then the daily expenses with his check, etc.
We both get paid weekly. I get paid on Fridays, DH on Mondays. It's nice that there are like 8 months where we have an extra week of pay for at least one of us.
We both get paid biweekly. When he worked at his last job, it was biweekly but offset, so that was nice. It doesn't make too much of a difference now because we have an outlined budget that shows every expense for the rest of the year and we have a set amount of "spending money" that we stick to, so the budget never really changes much unless there's a huge unexpected expense.
I get paid bi-weekly and H gets paid weekly. It works out nice since the big bills (utilities, cable/internet and truck payment) all come out on weeks we both get paid. And since our mortgage is weekly, it's nice not having to budget for two weeks at a time.
Every other week. It's usually not too much of an issue like that. I felt that I was worried about having money more when I was getting paid weekly because of how my bills fell.
We both get paid biweekly. Before I switched jobs last year we were paid on opposite weeks which was nice. Now he gets paid on Thursday and I'm Friday, with trying to save for baby it's a stretch by the end of the 2nd week :-)
We get paid biweekly and since we work together, we are obviously on the same svhedule. Sometimes I think it would be nice to get paid opposite each other but that would mean one of us would have to change jobs.

H gets paid weekly. Which is nice.
DH and I are paid once a fortnight. I don't mind it but when DH was paid weekly I feel like more money went into savings.
I would like to also agree with Evan. I have a pool at work we buy powerball tickets every time the jackpot goes over $100 million.
