Get in the Habit of Paying Early - Page 2

dasha101 · 03-25-2007

I am used to paying all my bills early. I actually get minimal amount as rebates and discount for doing this. I have a good paying habit because I don't want to happen to me what had happened to my mom before. She ends up paying for interests for not updating her account.

I use my credit card to pay all my bills on a weekly basis. Then all our wages are deposited on the credit card. This way our bills are always paid on time and because we are depositing each week we are not paying interest rates. It is a good way to get your credit back on track to as your bills are always paid on the due date.

This is a great suggestion assuming that you have the funds to do so. Though if your using a credit card then that is not always the case. For college students like me i find that for my friends they have an impossible time keeping on top of all there bills and there food and "extras" seem to always get put on there card.

I always pay early. When I get a chance I like to send in a double payment. If not double I always pay more then I'm suppose to.

I also make my due payments usually before the due date. But I certainly don't make double payment

The way I do it just pay a large chunk every pay period, using online banking, so the money just goes out to the card before I can even miss it.

Always pay off the entire balance, rather then the "minimum balance" shenanigans they try to get you to pay, they want you to keep paying, and the interest.

I also pay whole of my payment before the due date...Interest rate it rather high for me so I don't prefer paying "minimum balance" either.

This is the best and on the top advice which we should follow . I have suffered once with the situation and it is really difficult to get out of this situation when you are caught in debts .

I pay my bills early and for my mortgage I like to tack on more money to take the interest down.
