Even though I don't need the cash between paydays, I'm well aware of when payday is. For my job, even though I'm salaried, I need to fill out a timesheet by the 1st and 15th of every month. Payday is the 7th and 22nd of each month. Our clients are billed by our work hours, and if you forget to bill your time, it could represent a loss of many thousands of dollars. You're only allowed to forget once. The second time, you'll be ineligible for raises or promotions for the year, and the third time you could get fired.
And maybe it's because I'm still taking care of a debt emergency but I prefer to manage my funds manually (electronically of course). It only takes 5 minutes to allocate and fund my payments and savings and it makes me feel like I'm totally in control. Maybe once I get to the fun part of saving money rather than paying it back I'll be more inclined to try passive management.
