Before payday, you're scrambling to pinch pennies. Maybe skipping a meal here and there, definitely avoiding any social plans, and patiently waiting for that direct deposit to hit. And then—boom—you're rich! At least, for like 36 hours. Until the auto-withdrawals start. Rent, utilities, car payments, student loans... it's all too much. And of course, as soon as you get paid, you convince yourself it's time to live a little. Your account is full, why not eat out four times this week? Why not splurge on snacks and that one random thing in your Amazon cart? But a few weeks later, you're filled with regret, staring at your empty account and really wishing you'd rationed just a bit more. Will we ever learn? Probably not. But I guess if we're going to live in this never-ending paycheck cycle, we might as well laugh about it. Keep scrolling for some painfully relatable paycheck memes.
