Well its better to worry about making the money more so then paying the bills. If you make the money the bills get paid. One bill that I always pay first is ME bill, so that way I always have some money left. Then try and clear all the little bills and then work on the larger ones, negotiate the balance and keep on them.

I think you should keep paid your bill, because you already agree when you make a deal with them. My suggestion, make another source of money, you can be real reseller, reseller everything that you can see it could be opportunity for others in the other part of the world. Our place in the world is so wide brother. We have to sure, if every mankind already have their livelihood. So, don't worry about your bill. Keep finding your market to sell your goods online. Keep spirit, you have to sure with your destiny. Good luck!

Here is how we do it at home. At the beginning of the month, hubby and I contribute a fixed amount of money to the household fund. It amounts to a couple of hundred dollars. With that money, I would allocate it to all the different bills and childcare expenses and groceries. Even though we do not know exactly how much we have to pay, I usually average the amount and allocate it there. I usually use different used envelopes for each expense. The rest of the money is extra money, although there are seldom any after allocation. This is how it goes. If the bill amounts to something smaller than I allocated, then the extra is kept as savings. If the amount is higher, then I dig from this savings. It kinda balance out over the months, hopefully. I try not to worry about the bills, but if there is anything unexpected, I would worry very much.

My bills are building up again. Money has been so tight lately and things are bad. My husband's hours keep getting cut (now he is down to 15 hours a week) and it has been difficult. We had to buy a pre-paid cell phone because my husband's boss told him he needed a cell phone in order to keep his job. I am looking for ways to make money online so I can pay bills. I will look at your profile.

oh my god. you have triggered yet another bout of anxiety in my wife here, who is reading along with me. She is always a wreck. About planning ahead of the payment of bills. But, I am different. What use is planning, if you don't know how much you are going to incur, or how much you are going to earn? fortunately, my earnings are through consultation, and I am content with the simple surplus I could make, over the few months. Thanks to the recession, My appointment diary is full. my online earnings are almost zero.

[b]I know how much I need to pay bill before it arrives me... it will be more or less same as I calculated... so that I don't worry about those things.. I will keep notes with what I had done and how much it will cost for anything and all...[/b]
