Pay bills on time, everytime.
It’s so easy, even Katie can do it!Today’s tip on how to pay bills on time, everytime is actually from Katie, our resident Organic Freedom. Kate’s trick, automate every bill that you possibly can predict the monthly payment due. For Classics, and quite a few Smart Structures, today’s tip seems like a head scratcher. Why go to all of that trouble when you could just figure out when your bills are due and then set up a time to pay them ahead of when they’re due each month. Duh?!
Here’s why the latter method isn’t that easy for all. Some types stumble because Funs, Organic Freedoms, and Smart Freedoms don’t obsess over a daily calendar so even when you set up a system, things fall through the cracks. And all visual memory types (Smarts and Organics) can forget about bills when they’re not out in the open.
Forgetting a bill is often no big deal every once in awhile unless it’s your loan payment or a credit card minimum where they then jack up your rate to usurious levels and it feels like companies are stealing your hard earned money.
By now, every major and regional bank has online banking and if your bank doesn’t have online banking, consider opening an account with one that does just for automatic bill payments — although I’m NOT Suze Orman approves (Whose advice always scares Katie, except this month’s was pretty sound and non judgmental) so maybe check with her. I take that back, even without knowing your situation … Organic Freedoms and Smart Freedoms could only benefit from this service.
