Has the order changed?

I could have sworn 'I usually have enought left over to save' was Option C earlier???

[AB Editor]

Yes, it does that.

My last Payday was in June, end of that month I closed my business and retired a bit early. Not touching any Pensions 'til I'm 65 (2 years, earliest) so in the meantime I hope my Tenants pay the rents on time.

pay cheque? never had one, always got paid wages, either in cash or straight to the bank

[ummmm]

We always have enough left over.

[pastafreak]

How are 'wages' different from a 'pay cheque'? They are both money paid to you for work done.

[piggynose]

pastafreak, pay cheque sounds american. I prefer the english word wages.

[gingejbee]

That would be "pay check"....sounds like an American being paid with a cheque. "Wages" always sounds like cash in a small envelope....and "salary" sounds like monthly direct payment to bank account.

[Old_Geezer]

As far as the bank.

[pastafreak]

I guess 'pay cheque/pay check' sounds OK to me because I *am* american.....
