​5 Top Tips for Paying Your Bills on Time

Make a calendar.
A particular bill is usually due about the same time each month. Write down all your bills on a calendar that you'll see on regular basis. The calendar will serve as a reminder of what's due and when. You'll never forget to pay a bill again.

Set aside one day a week to pay your bills.
Pick a day to sit down each week and pay all the bills that are due in 7-14 days. The bills that are due in 0-7 days will have been paid last week. This way the speed of the mail is never an issue, and you have time to deal with any unexpected challenges.

Go electronic.
Paying bills online is faster and easier. Once everything is set up, you'll just need to enter the amount and click 'send'. You can even set everything up on your bank's website and pay all your bills at once; all your bills from one website. Now that's fast and easy.

Consider automatic payments. 
Many bills can be set up to automatically debit your checking account. You'll never be late, provided you always have sufficient funds in your bank account. The overdraft fees can really get you if you're not careful, so make a note of the date your payment will come through and ensure your bank account has the funds to pay the bill.

Reward yourself.
Changing habits can be challenging. Promise you'll do something special for yourself each month you pay all your bills on time. A little reward can really help to reinforce a new habit.
