Beginning of the month bill paying
« on: December 02, 2019, 11:29:31 am »
Ugh I dread the beginning of each month because I get all my income at the beginning of the month so I just go ahead and pay all my bills and then whatever is left goes for food gas and medicine.  Oh well I am glad that each month I am blessed to be able to take care of everything even if not much is left.

Yes, all my bills are also due either at the end or the beginning of the month. I am paid biweekly though so I just try to pay them as I receive my paychecks.

I do the same thing, that way I know what I have left for the month.

I'm the same way only I get mine at the end of the month, usually around the 25th, so I go ahead and pay all my bills and then I don't have to worry about it until the next month.

Yes, I as well pay all my bills at the beginning of the month.  I might not have much left for the rest of the month but I'm thankful I'm able to pay all my bills.  :thumbsup:

Same here feels like every is due on the 1st or by the 12th which is usually three days before the next check.  Get paid on the 15th and last day of month.  I pay bills with the last day of month check and then usually grocery shop with the 15th of the month check

i hate paying bills! Most of them are due at the beginning of the month.
The one i hate the most is the health insurance bill!  :present: :peace: :wave:

I pay all of mine at the beginning of the month also so they are all out of the way.

The only monthly payment that's annoying is the mortgage on the first because of the hassle of paying it online when that can be avoided easily.

I pay all of our bills the first of each month when my husband gets his disability check.  My weekly paycheck goes toward groceries, gas, incidentals & savings.
Have a wonderful day!

I pay at different times of the month, depending on when the due date is; but never late!

I understand what you mean, but look at the positive of it; bills means you have services/materials.  Not to mention the ability to be able to pay them is a blessing.

Personally, I dread the beginning of the month because it's a time to collect on a loan that I made.  I didn't know it was going to be so difficult to get the person to repay because I've loaned to her before.  She would've been living in her car with her kids if it weren't for me, now she's on social media regularly but acts as if she can barely check the email she contacted me on.  Next time she won't get the loan, believe me!

Sounds like an efficient budget, I Like it.

I pay all of our bills the first of each month when my husband gets his disability check.  My weekly paycheck goes toward groceries, gas, incidentals & savings.
