Examples of payday in a Sentence

  1. Elizabeth Warren:

    It's expensive to be poor, we need a strong Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that cracks down on payday lenders ... And we need postal banking so people in every community in America have easy and convenient access to basic banking products.

  3. Rachael Denhollander:

    They say they want to support the survivors and work for justice, but, at the same time as they utter these words, they have attacked our character and motivations, accused us of being ambulance chasers looking for a payday, lied about our legislative package, lied about why mediation was stalled, and paid exorbitant amounts of money to monitor our social media activity, actions speak louder than words, and MSU’s actions leave no doubt about what they really care about, and it isn’t stopping sexual assault.

  4. Donald Trump:

    Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher, likewise, the networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case, women's health issues. Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders -- and it would be an easy payday -- I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be.

  5. Sanita Belgrave:

    I am ENOUGH. I am WEALTHY. Every day is PAYDAY. Signed, My future Prosperous Self.
