Well assuming you're not "financially successful" and talking about wealth classes that make their money from working, then by comparison they don't do anything differently when their paycheck arrives, or even know what day exactly they get their paycheck. If someone is living above their means or otherwise financially at risk, they're paying close attention to the numbers in their accounts. More subtly, they might say something like "I just got paid, let's go out for dinner" or "I'll buy those tickets on Tuesday" when there's no reason they shouldn't just get them now for whatever it is.
