I get paid every 2 weeks, but my bills and savings have static days of the month that they are paid/saved on, so sometimes I get paid right before they are due (which causes them to eat a good portion of that paycheck), other times right after (in which I get to pocket a good portion of the paycheck). Because of this, sometimes I have several hundred dollars left after bills and savings, and sometimes I only have a couple hundred.
I'm not a huge spender though. Usually my spending money goes towards going out to eat or drinks with my girlfriend and/or friends, a small purchase like a book or something, or something we want/need around the house like an appliance or some sort of decor or something.
We've never been in financial trouble, but sometimes I get freaked out thinking "Crap, I only have a few hundred dollars for the next 2 weeks." when other times I have $500-600 and feel secure for the next 2 weeks. It's just that I know how easily a couple hundred dollars can go in 2 weeks, but I know that I don't always spend that much. Last month I had $150 in my checking account and I got paid in a week, and I only maybe spend like $20 that whole week.
