Yeah that. Getting a month ahead was a game changer for me. Unless it's something that doesn't bill until later, I pay everything on the first of the month and am done.
Notice the post MPL was responding to. The Yeah That... she was about the 3rd or 4th one to say this is the key, essential piece in solving the problem of due dates is getting a month ahead.
When you asked how she did it... my assumption was you mean how you get one month ahead. After all, that is the point of the whole thing... the emphasis of the point.
You suggested it was unrelated, but I know its the essential component... because MPL said herself later "I also want to note, that it really wouldn't matter if the bills came out of my checking instead of credit card.
The money for them is all there on the 1st. That's the important part. I just funnel through the credit card for the rewards and due to minor paranoia of days long ago when I did overdraw checking accounts.
I tried to clarify for you... saying "the essential piece however. When you have a cushion you can sit down with bills 1-2 times a month because you never have to think about automatic payments. The money is always there to cover them, so it happens without your input.
Personally, I also have very very few automatic payments that go to my bank account. Most go to my credit card. Limits number of payments and active involvement.
"
To which you responded It had nothing to do with the topic ....
Later MPL also stated, " They go through to my credit card which I pay on the 1st of the month" ... which was again exactly in keeping with what i said... you treated her like the second coming, and said I should go compost
Seriously. What you are showing in your responses is not a wit to do with me.... what you are showing is your own heart and prejudices. They are not subtle.
