The year divides evenly into 4 quarters of 13 weeks, or 13 months of 4 weeks, or 2 halves of 26 weeks. If you measure your year in 52 weeks, then it becomes a more eloquent means of counting the days. Can you imagine if bi-weekly and monthly events (like bills & rent & paycheques) all synchronised with one another? It would make accounting so easy that we would require far fewer hours working on our budgets. simple, no? you are perpetuating a common misconception.
