Bill paying time

Oh well, I just got my pay check not long ago, like last Friday, this week, a ton of bills waiting for me to pay. Actually, tons of them might be a little exaggerated, cell phone, and a credit card, and also a personal loan from 2 years ago. I just take my best shot to pay them fast as I can. If I have extra cash, I will definitely pay them off as much as I can. Especially now, I don't want any interest accumulate on the card. So, this paycheck of mine might as well blown with all these bill payments. Oh well, I guess I have to work much harder to save some extra money for my own.

I know that feeling very well. It is hard living from paycheck to paycheck. I know how you feel because there have been times when my husband and I are struggling to the point where we cannot live from paycheck to paycheck. I am slightly behind on my credit card and am hoping that next week I can pay off a good chunk of it. I am making some extra cash on here so I can pay it off faster. I wish you the best of luck.

hahaha I know the feeling! It's like the money that you earned will just drop by, and will only say "excuse me" need to go to the right owner (your biller). Well then at least in few months, if you keep on doing that, prioritizing you bills payment then before you knew it, everything is settled. Yha its better to have money to pay them in full to avoid those interest specially those bills from credit cards... Anyways, good luck. Look forward to a debt free kingparker!!!

I do not have/use any credit cards. I choose to live within my means. Credit cards are such a temptation to over spend. This way, if I don't have the money for a particular item, I don't buy it. We can all live on so much less. Food and shelter are the basics and all the rest is gravy.

We all have bills and we need to find ways to pay them. Also, the ones we subscribe on to, the more bills we pay. That's why I don't subscribe to telephone plans, they're just another waste of money since I don't really text that much. I only use my mobile phone for browsing.

Always try to save some money for yourself. Your situation now seems not very good. There are so many bills you have to pay. Work harder and earn more~~ Both from work and online~

I suspect we can all understand that feeling to an extent. Be glad that you have a paycheck to pay your bills our of, because. Some people don't have that and still have bills.

Oh yeah , I like to pay off the balances on my credit cards too as fast as I can. With the high interest rates, the longer one keeps them the more the amounts will accumulate. And, of course, at the other end, I have to keep the payments by credit cards under control.

Might not be as exciting as you'd like but sounds like you're doing a great job and being very responsible about things. Might not be a lot of fun now but you'll enjoy it all the more in the long run. Congrats on doing the right thing.

It does seem a bit overwhelming sometimes with the exorbitant bills we get into sometimes. I would say budgeting a bit may be useful with a plan to map out on how to pay them off. In the end of paying off debts it becomes that much more fruitful. Best of luck with all the payments.
