Utility bills are paid

All my monthly utility bills have been paid for November.
I am glad to be getting a school check again. It is once a month, and each of our other checks are also once a month. All at different times.
Too bad I do not get a year around check from the schools.
Other things I need to do are to investigate different Medicare Plans to see if I can save some money.
Right now we are headed to the thrift shop and a doctor's appointment. See you later.

My SS check is one week after hubby, but the school one is about a week before either of those. It helps.

@crazyhorseladycx For us the lockdown has helped. We are at stores much less often. We eat out much less often. Everything we do not spend is a blessing.

Glad your bills are paid - I paid the ones already that were due the beginning of the month & I only have one left that's due at the end of the month. I get paid twice a month i would hate getting a check only once a month.

If I were to change jobs, I would look for one that paid more often.

@Blondie2222 It is a scramble. I usually have to do lots of bits and pieces of things to get by. In the past I had to often work a second job to support working at school.

@GardenGerty Yeah, I don't know how people do it and then don't get paid all summer.

@allen0187 Yes they have. Our water/sewage/trash bill goes to the city who only accepts checks and money orders in a drop box, or cash if you walk in.

@GardenGerty online payment platforms have been very useful especially during this pandemic.

Usually ours are modest. Water was HUGE last month but we had a water leak. The bill is $200 less this month.

Bills off the checklist for the month - what a great feeling. Saving as much as we can is certainly a thought in everyone's minds these days. Hope you have some good finds at the thrift shop - and hope all goes well with your appointment!

I have Medicare for my insurance, hubby has Medicare and Veteran benefits. I have money put in an account for additional medical expenses. This is the time of year we can make changes to Medicare.

Make sure you go to the doctor first, because you can spend hours in thrift shops! 
Have a great day!

we pay things as they come due. Especially since some come right out of the bank.
Glad you have that money to help, and bills are paid so no stress

Other bills to pay later, but it is okay. Yes, we do pay as they come due. Utilities were due.
