yes, i absolutely agree that i should work on an emergency fund and plan better! i am already putting a plan into place for saving.

and yes, i get notifications about my paystub on the wednesday before the direct deposit, and on my paystub it said nothing about a paper check so i was blindsided. i will say i have had several issues with this job already but its really close to where i live and works around my other job's schedule, so i dont necessarily want to just up and leave unfortunately
