Setting up an easy and enjoyable bill paying system. Paying with this simple methodology will take the stress out of paying bills in these tough economic times.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 Columnar Pad (6 Columns)
  1. Step 1

    Purchase a Columnar Pad from an office supply or department store. The pad with 6 columns worked best for me.

  2. Step 2

    At the top of the page insert the label "Monthly Bills".

  3. Step 3

    Next, list the payees using the widest column on the page. On top of the column list the "month and year".

  5. Step 5

    Each week spend thirty minutes looking over the page of bills for the month to keep on top of things.
