It's just that I find it is easy to forget to pay a bill (even though I have it all on an Excel sheet). Had a late payment. Recently almost had another late payment!
Hey, any tips on keeping on top of all the credit-card/loan/internet/utility/etc. bills??
1) do keep spread sheets
2) pay everything all the time on time or way early
3) repeat #2
4) only float what you are prepared to float
5)only risk what you are prepared to lose
6) learn the rules of things like the FDIC, Atty General, small claims courts in your state...
7) never lose
MSing makes you better with finances and teaches you such things
