Ask her if it is worth working first 2 hours of each week (in a 40 work week) for free to have more frequent cash deposits.
More important, teach her how the cash advance service is able to do so while likely working less than 40 hours each week in doing so. They are The Richest Man in Babylon (have her read it!).

If it’s optional then it’s not really “The System”.

Wife works retail, with the big benefit being health insurance.
They gave her a card and she "pays herself" using the card. Since I pay all the bills, she rarely pays herself. She probably gets about 10% of her pay, putting everything else into investments.
Retail doesn't pay well, but last year I had a little over $1.0m in medical expenses and I did not pay a nickel to anyone (I had an expensive series of infusions and the drug company gave me a co-pay card).

Wealth (for nearly all wealthy people) is the cumulative result of good decision-making over a lifetime and sometimes over generations.
Poverty, likewise, is the cumulative result of bad decisions.
All of this. Blaming "the system" and "rich" people is how the second group justifies their lot in life and removes any personal accountability.
No one is poor because someone else is successful.

many businesses are doing this pay per day just to keep employees. It's slowing growing.
EDIT: most will still end up with less money bc they will just spend it when they get it. It's about what a kid was taught.
