If you don’t have a filling cabinet go
out and buy one!
Determine two dates during the month when you
will pay your bills. For example the 10th and
25th. You need to formulate a routine. You will pay
your bills no matter what on these days.
Create files. The first two files will be
for the bills to be paid on the dates you commit to
(ie. to be paid on the 10th, to be paid on the
25th). The rest should be labelled according to each
of your bills (ex. Visa Bills, Phone Bills, Bay
Card, etc.) Your bills should not go into their
individual files until after they have been paid.
When your bills arrive, open them immediately.
Go through all of your expenses to make sure they
are accurate. Place each bill in the appropriate “to
be paid” file, based on their due date.
Mark your bills as PAID after your bill
payment day and sort them into their appropriate
files.
Tip: There is no excuse for late payments.
Treat your bills seriously or risk seriously damaging
your financial future.
