    Pretty good. I'm either on time or early. Every now and then I've been having to use the 10 day grace period now that I've got a change in pay period recently. But none late so far.

    Some I do online, some I do in person...it honestly depends on how busy I'm going to be that specific time the bill is due but the most important ones I make sure to pay at least 2-3 days early...

    Once a month I write down all my bills: the current balance, the min payment, the due date and the interest charge. I keep this information in a little note pad that I pretty much carry everywhere, so I can always go over what needs to be paid and budget myself accordingly. I also write down all due dates in my planner. Whenever I pay each bill, I put a little check next to it. Thats how I keep track.

    Yup. This is a "i spent all my money on black friday" thread.
    Or a "i didnt tell my man that i pay bills late, all the time, and dont tell you" thread.

    My wife is always doing that ? .
    She will need some money, and ill be like...... pay your cell bill a month late.

    Her response: "Its already a month behind"

    My response.................................

    I've been paying the same bills for years yo. Most reacurring lights, heat, mortgage, Cable, CS. I really haven't added any new signifigant bill in years. I only have 1 credit card with a $500 balance right now. So twice a month I go on each website and pay them. Necessities like groceries and toiletries I get enough to last me a good month.

    Microsoft Excel 2010 with Macros, I have a budget and a column [Macro Scripted] that lets me know when my bills are due. It also helps to consolidate all your bills into one account.

    but the fact remains that lights don't get cut off after a couple days of you not paying them. ? , the power companies in our area don't even read your meter monthly, it's every other month. So every other month you get an estimate. You don't even have to pay the estimate.

    You ain't paid that bill in a minute Kat.

    I assume you all already have a white board with the house budget on it........

    You write the bills that need to come out by a certain date up there, divided by paycheck.
    Put the title, in permanent marker, so its always there.

    Me and my wife sit down and form a budget, along with due dates. We have a dry erase calendar on the wall by the door so you have no choice but to see it.

    Seems like this is a "i forgot to save money for the bills" and not a "i had the money, but i forgot" thread. Shame on you kathryn.
