Is paying monthly an American thing? In Australia most things seem to revolve around n weeks.
- I get paid on Thu every second week (2 weeks)
- My pre-paid phone auto-recharged is every 28 days (4 weeks).
- House rentals are listed as weekly rates, paid at whatever n weeks you negotiate.
- Mortgages are monthly by default, but most let you opt for n weeks, so most people pick the day after they are paid. Interest is still added monthly though.
The only things I can think of that I'm charged monthly for are online subscriptions, which I suspect got influenced by America.
> We should have 13 months, all 28 days long, exactly 4 weeks. Whenever there's a leap year we get an extra day for free.
Same length months would be cool... but as above, months don't mean practical month to me except for having to remember which one we are in.
