car payment - check...

[TheOriginalJames]

credit cards - check.

gas bill - check.

insurance - ah... it'll have to wait.

Don't ya'll just love paying bills? /sarcastic question. Overtime means nothing because it's all gone with a quick click of the mouse anyway.

I just blew 321 bucks in 5 minutes...

To top it all off my registration is due on Veronicas birthday, and then my license is due on my birthday 10 days later...

But I found the secret to saving money, except for mon-wednesday of this last week I went home to eat food I already had purchased in the house everyday. So I saved myself at least 30-40 bucks worth of food. Buying Cigs by the carton also saved me 15 bucks, of course I'd save an extra 24-40 a week if I could quit that.

This is what I get for owning a house. Aside from the mortgage I gained another 6 bills on top of it. Three cheers for BDN! lol

Even a better idea to save money... QUIT smoking!

I wish I could, but it's hard when you work in an office full of smokers too. (making excuses...) Yeah. lol

ouch! Brand new cars'll do that to ya. Don't kill me but my registration is 88 bucks this year, my car is 7 yrs old this year though.

Luckily my insurance isn't due until the 27th, and my insurance agents really don't penalize you for being late. Hell, I'm wiring their new office... which is now less than a block away from me! lol

Even if they are more expensive new car > old car anyday of the week...

Yes it does! I had a surprise the Sunday I got back from texas though (mail came all week, i think it was from Friday) I wandered in after that crazy 17 hour trek and there was a letter from my ins. agent.

It was a refund check for 95 bucks. :woohoo:

I was like sweet! lol

 

[Suzie]

Nice...like finding money in your pocket

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Yes it is. I've done that once. 20 bucks outta nowhere is the best thing in the world.

paying bills is so much fun!









..sarcasm

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Do any of you ever lay in bed at night and wonder if you made any bill payments or not? Every month I go through the same damn thing. lol

 

[Veronica]

Me too. I worry and stress about bills everyday.. I hate it.

 

[Jersey]

i have a checklist on my computer.. on microsoft onenote... im obsessed with being on time with bills... scares the shit outta me if im eve an hour late on something!

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Yeah, I have one on a piece of notebook paper.

Divided between automotive - house - personal bills.

Car Pymnt
Insurance

Mortgage
Water/Swr
Garbage
Gas
Power
FiOS
DirecTV

loan
Cell
CC1
CC2

Due dates varying from the 1st to the 28th of every month, if I didn't write this down I'd be a basket case all day everyday.

The house takes up most of my checklist, but that is also the one I only pay half of everything.
