Poll: How do you pay your bills? Do you just pile them up and deal with them as you ge paid or do you

Posted by Capstern Feb 10 '12, 08:45

have a calendar or spreadsheet planning out the next few months and what comes out of each check?

I am curious as I remember my parents just piled everything and then opened and paid them as they went...I have a spreadsheet that projects all bills (even food and entertainment) and what comes out of each check for a year and my projected possible surpluss for bill pay down in DEC

I pay all my bills on the last Sunday of the month. No reason. - howie Feb 10, 08:57
Basically the same as you. I have a budget set for the rest of the year and I know when each bill has to get paid. - Krusty Feb 10, 08:56 2
- I am like this. I like to review everything. I like the sense of control and quality assurance. - Capstern Feb 10, 08:59
- To be 100% honest, my gf pays all the bills. I do very little when it comes to the handling of the money. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 08:57
Enter them into my bank bill-pay as soon as they come in. Schedule a pay-date based on their due date. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 10, 08:51

      - My bank send payments (or pays electronically) at my instruction. I can look/change whatever I want. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 10, 08:59
