pay bills on time

I just paid $50 fine…i’m hopeless…

I’m sick of paying late fees…I want to pay all my bills for the next month on time!!

Because Henry has been quite delinquent on some of our debts that he committed to paying, I decided to take those that had my name attached to them over. It’s negatively impacted my credit, and there’s not a lot I can do about what has been done.

However, I negotiated with the creditors and want to make good on all debts. All but one was willing and offered me reduced payments and interest by a lot and were understanding about my situation.

I have all the bills in my Quicken & planner as to make sure I pay everything on time. The things I was already paying on have all been paid on time, but now to make good on Henry’s inconsistencies here.

Most likely it will take years to undo some of the things Henry has done. No use complaining or griping. Just getting to work on repairing the damage done. Paying the bills on time will go a long way to help.

I was terrible at this but once you make it a habit and plan your bills with your paydays it becomes totally easy. As soon as my bills come in write out my check and put it in the mail the next day! This was a big step for me! Oh, yeah, online bill pay helps a lot.

all May bills are paid.

online banking…..keeps me organized. So does Quicken.

Okay, i used to be so good about paying bills on time, but due to my horrible schedule, and adjusting to being single agian, i’ve been really bad at this! i haven’t really gotten behind, but i’m afraid it’s going to happen, so i’m going to buckle down and make this a goal!

My goal is to just pay bills as they come, not wait for things to stack up and do them all at once. I have the money to pay stuff, it’s not like i’m living paycheck to paycheck. So i’m just going to pay things as they come.

I am catching March up, by the middle of April, I should be all back on track.
The tricky part will be to save money. It burns holes in my pockets!

I am not doing very well at this at all. February turned into March too quickly.
We are expecting some extra money in April, I plan on using some of it as a cushion to insulate us from paycheck-to paycheck.
Once that happens, looking at the bills will not be so discouragig and overwhelming, and I will come up with new goals so that I can change my money habits.

I have taken this goal up the next level. I am now writing in my planner when everything is due and when I need to pay them. This has been working out wonderfully. I did mail out my rent check late this month but, I called my landlord and told him that it might be a day late. Feb. threw me off because of it having only 28 days! I never got a phone call back from my landlord so I am assuming everything is fine. This goal is really make myself feel good. Hopefully this will help with my credit score.
