Posted in Time Saving Tips
Tired of keeping up with the bills? Want to be sure they get paid on time, every month and save yourself a bunch of stamps? Then consider using auto-pay through your bank! I recommend using auto-pay through your bank account for those bills that have a set amount each month. At this time, ALL of my bills are automatically deducted from my account each month. After my husband gets paid, I just write each amount out of the account and I don't have to think about it again! It's easy to get these set up ... just contact those companies you want to auto-pay and ask them for the form needed to set up this process. You will need to factor in how often you are receiving paychecks and if they are variable or not BEFORE you set this up. My husband gets paid once a month at the beginning of the month so this is very easy for me to set up!
Now, if you have bills that you do NOT want to auto-pay or for handling those one-time bills (like magazine subscription payments), be sure they don't get lost in the rest of the paper clutter! Set up an "outbox" near your front door. I have a brass container that hangs on my wall and this is where I place one-time bills that need to be paid or mail that needs to go to the mailbox. I check it every morning because my family knows to put outgoing mail there. It also keeps those bills in front of me reminding me to pay them!
It only takes a few minutes each day to keep up with the mail when I have set myself up for SUCCESS
