How to List Your Bills

Video Transcript

"I'm going to talk now about the monthly bills, and how you gather this information. I think one of the easiest ways, if you've saved some old receipts, you can put this together from that. Or you can go online with your bank and either look at a paper statement or online. And just see what you've paid, and what dates you've paid it. You should be able to pick up pretty much everything that's happened during the month that way. And you can list it out here just the same way that I did. For example, I have got gas card, one written Escrow, two car payments for this family, one for a Ford and one for a Honda. Another gas card, a credit card, I have three credit cards in total. But they are listed differently and out of sequence because the due dates come later in the month. And then they also have utilities, gas, electric, water, telephone. They have an education loan. So once they get all of this listed, and again I like to list this by the due date, then we're ready to move on to the next section. One thing, you know, for this example I just list gas card two, or credit card two. Make sure you put in the real detail on what you list here."
