Organizing Your Debt

Your bills come every month whether you wish them to or not. Setting them in a cubby hole somewhere and dealing with them later may lead you to draw a blank about their maturity date. When this occurs you wind up being forced to pay a late fee. If you're willing to get organized, you are able to get your bills paid on time and never have to fret about incurring a late fee. This might take a little bit of time to set up, but only a couple of extra minutes per week to sustain. Make sure you open your bills. A lot of bills come with unneeded inserts that just take up room in the place where you store your bills. Take out any inserts and recycle them with the outer envelope at once. This keeps clutter from stacking up and taking your focus off of the bill itself. Now take the bill and put it under the fold of the return envelope. You are able to label 4 plastic bins so that each one makes up a week of the month. You are able to simply label them "Week 1," "Week 2," "Week 3," and "Week 4." Now take your prepared bills and find out the maturity date. If the maturity date is the 8th of the month, the bill goes in the week 2 bin. If the maturity date is the twentieth, the bill goes in the bin for week 3.
