This seems like my experience too. Hahahahahah
In my little years of working, I have experienced at least three ways of getting paid. I started with a full month, move to two weeks and now a week mode of payment. Smile
But, I can testify that, monthly salary seems good, because the money is coming big and you will be able to plan with it. If one is not disciplined enough, it is not easy to save money with 7 days mode of payment like we are having in steemit.
Though that might not work on steemit just like you illustrated It in the post.
