Bill almost due, here's a solution...

Does this scenario sound familiar? You know you have a bill that needs to be paid, but you can't find it amongst the stack of papers on your desk.

One simple solution is to create a "bills" folder. In the folder, include the following:

-- All bill statements for the month: you may choose to include a sheet that says - vendor - amount - due date

-- 2 envelopes: (1) Debit receipts (2) Credit Card receipts

If you have multiple credit/store cards, you may choose to create an envelope for each vendor.

Once you have this system in place, you will put your bills into the folder as they come in, so that when you're ready to pay them, you can go to 1 place and have everything all together.

Two other tips are to keep your postage and address labels in the folder. If you can discipline yourself to set-up and implement this system, you will find that paying bills is alot less stressful and you can get on to better things!
