I think i will skip water and electricity bills. Since, both of them are allowed us of grace period of 2 months before the companies going to take action to terminate the service. It's a sad situation if we unable to pay any of our bills on time. So, i always make sure that i don't overspend, so i can pay all my bills on time and have enough to spend on food, as well. We must try our best to budget our money, so that we don't run-out of money.

I skip the water bill, cause I live in an apartment, and you could skip for 3 months before they cut your water supply, so I often skip that if I know I really won't have enough money at the end of the month. The bill I hate the most is our electric bill, cause it's so high, considering that nobody is at the apartment the whole day. I have tried a lot of things to bring it down but my efforts are often wasted. I also hate paying credit cards, cause when the bill arrives that's when I realize that I have used it too much again and that I have overspent again. tsk.

I hate paying credit card bills. There are so many hidden charges and there is not enough information on how they compute all those charges. If I have to skip paying bills, then I would gladly skip paying these credit card companies. I don't want to skip paying my water bill though because I like taking a bath, and I would absolutely hate leaving the house without one.

Sorry, you lost me. I'm from the Philippines. Why is that amazing? How come you don't have to pay for your water bills? Is it free in your country? Pardon my ignorance.

Hi tuyakiki, most parts of the world are suffering from power cut these time, but I am the lucky one who lives at a place which declared the "HOLY CITY" by state govt. so we get uninterrupted power supply 24X7, well like you I am also want to skip the electricity bill, because it goes always very high than my expectations. thanks

I would like to be able to skip my mortgage payment if I ran out of money as it is my highest bill. My auto bill would be next as it is the second highest and then my credit card bills. I would love to be bill free at some point and not have to worry as much with expenses.

The electric bill. It is at least over $200 a month. It has cost almost $500.00 . It all depends on the time of year. It costs more during the summer but we haven't really had to many hot days yet this year so far. Normally here in Florida it is at least 90 to 95 F. Right now it is between 60 F and 70 F. Which IO don't mind at all.

I still live at home so dont have any bills as such to pay but I know when my mam pays her council tax she says she begrudges it. I was at the dentist a few weeks ago for a check up and so will have to pay and even though its only once a year a begrudge paying someone to look in my mouth lol.

We have power cuts too but I have to have my computer so I'd keep the power---gas for warmth--telephone for communication--- water and sewage have to haves----trash , yeah need that too. So, I guess there is no bills I wouldn't pay. Life is costly and it might be priceless but I need my luxuries.

electricity and water bills are bit expensive but they are the priority, If i have to skip one, it would be the CATV, because I can still watch local tv stations in the mean time.

The bill that I hate the most, as it is the highest, is the mortgage! There has been some bad management on my part in terms of the mortgage, so I am paying more than I should. A couple of years ago, I bought a new desktop, complete with all amenities. I could afford it then, but I still applied financing on it, just because I could. If I would skip anything, that would be it. I'll just pay the balance and get it over with.

I wish I can skip out on paying bills, but unfortunately my husband and I cannot. We were behind on our bills, but because we got our tax return we were able to get caught up. I was hoping that we would be able to get some things fixed up around the house. My highest bill is our electric bill. We have electric heat and live in a very cold climate. That is why it gets cold here.

I hate paying all of the bills :lol. When I don't have money I don't pay the bill for water and cable TV. And the reason is that they won't stop them if you don't pay in time - you just have to pay some additional cents with the next bill.

I think it would have to be the electricity bill, mine is very high and I can only afford to pay so much every month. At least I get a little bit of time with the electricity company, but I hate not being able to pay my bills

If I could pick a bill I would like to avoid paying every month, it would be my power bill, too. It's always the highest. It's because I live in a big house for one thing. My power bills have been the highest they've ever been this winter. It's because we've had such cold weather. I will be so glad when spring and summer are here for good. Kathy.

i think in the beginning i'll just give a thought that well how much amount i should be allocating to the paying bill category, if i decide that this amount should be kept safe for paying my bills then i would not even touch that money. i think for me at the end of the month i'm not going to have any problems

the internet bill i think. i can still be online from the office even if we don't have a connection at home. i'm thinking it could be pre-paid already.
