Place Bills Right On Your Calendar

This is my tip for paying bills on time. As soon as I receive a bill in the mail, or an email saying my bill is due soon, I write the due date and the amount on the calendar. Then every week when I write out my weekly spending plan and pay bills, I know when it needs paid and for how much. I'm never late making a payment.

Tip: Place Bills Right On Your Calendar

I am never late paying bills because as soon as they come in, I place the due date on my calendar. My calendar sits in front of my computer so I see it every day.

I put the due date on the envelope where the stamp goes. I've never been late yet getting bills paid. (01/24/2007)

GREAT idea, but for me, I am paid SS on a certain date, and all bills get paid that day, late or not! Can't help it. All of my creditors know this by now and understand, praise God. lol : ) (01/25/2007)

I do the same thing, marking bill and amount, circled in red, on the due date on calendar above my computer. If I mail the check, I note mailing date on calendar also, and check off each bill as I pay it. I used to just rely on my memory, but this little system is so much better. (01/26/2007)

I don't understand any of this. Knowing about what the bills are going to be, I keep enough in the checking account to pay them. When a bill comes in, I sit down, write the check for it, and mail it out the next day. How come this is a problem for so many people? (12/04/2007)

RE: Place Bills Right On Your Calendar

Speaking for my daughter, she pays her bills when she she gets enough money in her checking account to pay them. She has a debit card and it makes it waaaayy to easy to spend money. Myself, when the bill comes in I make the check out and send it in the next day. I don't have a debit card, and I don't spend foolishly. We only eat out once a week and it's fast food. I know it's bad for us, but I get tired of cooking and look forward to it. Luckily my husband and I have jobs, we don't live beyond our means. A little older a little wiser. :) (12/04/2007)
