How to Organize Monthly Bills

Everyone has forgotten a bill payment at some point in their lives. Some people are habitual offenders when it comes to late payments. This article will help you stay organized so that you won't get behind and be stuck with late fees.

Things You'll Need

• dual dry-erase calendar & bulletin board
• dry-erase markers
• push pins
• bills

Instructions

1. Buy a dual dry-erase calender & bulletin board, push pins, and dry erase markers. Once you've purchased these items, put it in a location of your home that you are in frequently. This way, you'll be looking at it daily so you can insure that you won't forget a payment.

2. As bills come in the mail, write the date on the calendar that the bill payment is due. Use the push pins to attach your bill statement onto the bulletin board. Continue this process for all your monthly bills.

3. Pay your bills when the date approaches. As the month goes by, you will see your calendar on a daily basis. You will know exactly what bill is due when. With the bill itself attached to the board, you won't have to search to double check the date or amount.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want to put your blank envelops and stamps near your board so that all your supplies are in the same area.
