It just so happens to work out that these two credit card bills come in the mail within one to two days of each other every month. On one credit card we put all our gas and monthly bills (such as Netflix, the internet, and natural gas), on the other we put all our groceries and other store purchases. We always paid them and mailed them right back without thinking when the next bill would be coming. A few months ago I created a spreadsheet that will help with this step.īills come in the mail every week. The first step is realizing where your money is going and when it is being withdrawn. I see some people who really would like to do a better job of saving their money or being responsible with it, but they aren’t sure how or where to start. I see a lot of people that have no clue how to get their finances in order. Convenient: most definitely! However, it is also easier to lose track of how you’re spending your money, or how much money is in your bank account at any given time. Thanks to technology, there is the option of having some of your bills paid by automatic withdraw, which makes paying bills completely out of sight out of mind. I mean really, who actually enjoys spending the entire afternoon on hold with an insurance company? Yuck! In my opinion, it’s one of the hardest (if not the hardest) part of becoming a responsible adult.

Organizing finances can be difficult and unpleasant. Adults get junk mail and bills, bills, bills. Don’t you think it’s funny how when you were a little kid it was the most exciting thing in the world to receive mail and now as an adult, you hate getting the mail? Kids get birthday cards containing money or party invitations in the mail.
