Save the Date

Have you ever noticed the day after a bill was due that you forgot to pay it? Don't want to miss another due date? Try these tips.

1. The day a bill comes in take a look at the due date and start plotting the order in which your bills will be paid.

2. I like to put the "due date" as the pay day before its due, right on the calendar. Keep the actual bills nearby- for easy access.

3. On payday, go online, and pay the bills right away. If you prefer snail mail- keep in mind it can take up to 10 days to credit.

Getting the Office Organized

Mail center

1. When the mail comes in decide right away to: file it, pay it, or recycle it. Keep that shredder nearby for mail with personal details. 


2. Divide and conquer. Bills to be paid on the right, first due right in front. {Calendar reminders coming soon.}


 3. Once bill is paid put it on the left to be filed. Once a month stash in your master filing cabinet. Keep for at least one year, or better yet, scan to computer and back up off site with a service like Crashplan, starting at $24.99/yr.
