Set up a toll card even though I don't travel on toll roads much - I was forgetting to pay the toll notices I was getting in the mail, and getting hit with admin fees to boot!

So this week I am going to put the last of my bills (all the docs and kid related stuff) into the bill pay on my bank site so I can sit down once a month and pay everything. I have already worked out the direct deposits and transfers to ensure money to cover the bills come the end of each month. Now to stop using my credit cards!!!! Hoping all the organizing helps me cut down on the need for stuff.

I learnt along time ago that I forget to pay bills on time and so when ever I received a "reminder" notice I set up auto payment. We now only have to pay rates, regos (including the dog's) and insurances. Everything else pays it's self. This one was already DONE!

I'm not able to do everything by draft just yet, but I will get there. However, I did get a large calender to write down bills as they come in and circle them as I pay them. I also have a bill organizer where I put the bills for safekeeping until I can pay them. I know it's a bit old fashioned, but it works for me right now. I will definitely revisit this mission in the future. I set up my car payment online, which will make things easier. I’m not able to do everything by draft just yet, but I will get there.

On or a little before the 1st and 15th I go though my bills and pay them. Most of mine are automatically deducted so I just have to document in my checkbook what they are. I tried to even up the amount due on the 1st and 15th that way my paycheck covers my bills and I have the same amount due. A bonus of paying bills this way is that the months when I get 3 paychecks (because I get paid every other Friday) I feel like I get an extra check to do with what I please- no bills coming out of it. That happens twice a year for me, BONUS!! I divided my bills into those that need to be paid by the 1st of each month and those that need to be paid by the 15th of each month.

But because I already have online bill pay set up for all of my bills, it was easy. Now I plan to log on once at the end of each week, and schedule payment for the bills that came in throughout the week. If they're not due for several weeks, I can schedule the payment for the due date, and don't have to worry about going online to make the payment closer to when it's due.

I have all my bills on online banking and I have managed to reduce the bills by stopping subcriptions and paying with visa if ordering something off the internet. I have also finally mananged to find out how I can pay off the credit card bill more often than the monthly bills.( this is a relief). In conclusion I now feel in control of my economy.

When we first started out with our "system" we struggled a bit, but now we never stress about paying the bills, as we know that the money is in the bank. I am thinking if I do one of the bills each night - ie Monday - electricity, Tuesday - phone/internet etc, then I will have done them all by the end of the week, and my mission will be complete!
