Tips to Organize Your Bill Paying

Do you worry you may have forgotten to pay an important bill? Do you sometimes get late payment reminders? Here’s a three-step process to stop both the worry and the late fees.

1. Set regular days and times to pay your bills. Start with something simple like the 5th, 15th and 25th of each month. Put that date in your calendar/reminder system for each month of the year!
2. Are you more of a morning dove or a night owl? Whichever you are, it’s best to schedule bill paying for the time of day when your energy is highest. BE sure that your scheduled date for bill paying (per tip #1) includes that time of day.
3. Create a separate e-mail account for e-statements. That way it will be simpler to find all the bills on each of your scheduled bill-paying dates.

These tips can save you time and money and, best of all, lower your anxiety about paying bills.
