You have seen the horrific sight of a kitchen table covered with an entire months worth of bills, receipts, and mail- what happened? By organizing your bills and life, you can stop this horrific sight before it starts.
How do you organize your bills? Here are a few simple tips:
1- GO THROUGH YOUR MAIL EVERYDAY. Don’t let mail pile up, just like your email, you need to open mail everyday. There may be things that need to be addressed right away and you don’t want to miss any deadlines!
2- PAY ALL OF YOUR BILLS AT THE SAME TIME. Make a specific time during the month to pay all of your bills in one sitting. The interest that you would make on paying bills right before they are due is not worth the stress of waiting. Doing it all at one time, will save lots of time because you will have out your checkbook, stamps, a pen, calculator, and the focus to get it all done in a timely manner. Giving you the peace of mind that all the bills are paid.
3- CONDENSE CREDIT CARDS. By simplifying bills, organizing your bills becomes significantly easier. Limit the number of credit cards you own to 2-3, whenever possible.
