People Want to Get Paid Weekly and Daily Now?

Описание: In this segment from Drivetime with DeRusha, Jason DeRusha tackles a growing trend in the workforce: workers — especially younger ones — are demanding weekly or even daily pay instead of traditional biweekly paychecks. Is this a smart shift—or a symptom of financial strain?

🗣️ Here's the data:

83% of workers want more frequent pay, like weekly or on-demand options

81% of Gen Z and 74% of Millennials say on-demand pay helps them pay bills on time

70% of younger workers seek meaning and financial peace—frequent pay gives them both stability and flexibility

📞 Then come the calls and texts:

Some listeners say on-demand pay eases cash flow in tough times

Others worry it reflects a lack of budgeting skills or deeper financial fragility

🔎 Jason explores:

Why this trend is booming—thanks to payroll apps like DailyPay and EarnIn

The pitfalls, including high fees and potential dependency—risks regulators are beginning to scrutinize

Who truly benefits: Is it just stressed hourly workers—or even higher earners using early pay as a savings tool

What this says about life today: rising living costs, paycheck-to-paycheck pressure, and a generational push for control and flexibility

👉 Has daily or weekly pay helped you manage expenses?
