Thread: Pay your bills on time

ep1
Set aside a special place to put your bills when they arrive, such as a desk cubbyhole, a special section in a drawer or a bill inbox. As soon as you receive them, open your bills, then put them in this special place.
Step2
Set aside two times a month, two weeks apart, to pay bills. The middle and end of the month are good times.
Step3
Call the companies that send you bills and have them revise your payment due dates to correspond with one of the two times you plan to pay your bills each month.
Step4
Mark your calendar to remind you of bill-paying dates and to help you keep to your schedule.
Step5
Pay your bills with checks or money orders, then note the check number, the date and the amount paid on the receipt portion of each bill.
Step6
File these receipts away and keep them for seven years.
Step7
Place the envelopes containing your payments next to your keys so that you will remember to take them with you and mail them immediately.
