Not financially, but actually keeping things in order and making sure everything gets paid in a timely manner?

Those living at home or only paying one or two bills need not respond.

I'm looking for people running households.

    I pay all my bills on the same day. I do the math to see how much everything comes to then just spend one morning cutting checks. It' s usually bout a week before the end of the month so that I dont forget anything...

    Automatic Bill Pay through the Internet/Phone

    Gotta keep an eye open for extra charges, tho:

    Car Insurance
    Home Insurance
    Phone/Inet/Cable
    Car Payment
    PG&E (a specific amount every month)
    Water/Garbage
    all comes out of through Auto Bill Pay.

    Never had an issue with Auto Pay but the only bad thing up is if your card gets cut off due to Security Issues (somebody you did business with at anytime got hacked), then you get a new card number and you gotta reset everything else up again. Sucks. But overall, I do the Auto Bill Pay, set the bills to get paid on certain dates and check my acct a couple of days later.

    add up my totals for the bills (the average) then i cut that in half, so if my bills are 1100, then i tell the bank to take 550 out of each of my checks, deposit into checking, then the rest goes to savings. all my bills except rent are automatically debited to my checking. Sometimes ill have to transfer more to my checking in case i go over on the internet or phone usage. never a whole lot tho. But i always got rent at the beginning of the month and everything else in the middle so it works just about everytime i get paid. sometimes it will bill before i get paid and wont work, so ill have to call them when i get paid to pay.

    This, especially if I have time to drop it off. If it's 2 weeks out, it's in the mail. Plus it's a P.O. here on campus and I go over on my lunch break and get all my money orders and mail them ? off.

    Everything withdrawn electronically from my account. I pay rent directly to my landlord though, i need to physically hand them my money with a receipt to make sure no shady ? goes on.

    I also check my bank account daily, ? like me ain't getting no overdrawn fee. ? knows when i use to ? with Bank of America they would ? me with fees.
