PAYING BILLS
« on: July 08, 2015, 03:54:48 am »
Do you pay your bills on time consistently? I use to be able to before I lost half of my income, now I pay them the best I can. My goal is to work on one at a time and try to pay them off.

I do pay my bills on time.  I used to write checks out, but now pay most of mine online.

@melodylogan45, I hope you find another source of income to replace the half income you have lost.

I've been pretty consistent at paying on time. There was a time when I couldn't because I lost my job and was out of work for a year, but I managed to get back on track. Now it's just a matter of getting these debts eliminated.

I always pay my bills on time.  If you do not then you have a late fee.  I don't want to pay that.

I pay on time all the time. I would have a cow if I was late on a payment. That's just how I am.  :sweat:

Usually, if you talk to your creditors they can schedule a payment plan that it easier on you. It doesn't hurt to try. Good luck.  :highfive:

I always pay on time and I'm grateful to have an income that allows me to do so.

I pay my bills on time always but there are times when it becomes extremely difficult to do so.

Had to let my house go after my husband died and my income dropped by half - also got rid of cable and anything else I could.  Now I pay my bills as soon as I get my social security and the rest I try to make last through the month for food and gas.  I find that if I don't pay the bills first then I would always be late with them and then its just wasted money on late fee's.

I pay my bills as soon as they come in that way I am sure one won't get misplaced and I lose it due to hubby messing around at my desk. He moves things around when he balances the checkbook for me.  the only thing I ask him to do. It's not that I can't do it, but that he needs to be do something to help out.

The majority of my bills are student loans; I simply place them in deferment/forbearance. This enables me to focus on paying my monthly bills and one of the student loans consistently.

Always pay bills on time or it'll add up.
