Maybe you're just thinking too much of it. There are a lot of things to think about besides bills like your family, friends, pet, your Facebook account, etc... Don't take life that seriously or you'll get burned pretty fast. Yeah, we're supposed to get burned at one point in our lives because we're just humans and we have limits. With that being said, all the more you have to focus on the positive stuff. Here's a video for you, I hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1GKGWJbE8 Might help, might not but it sure gives another perspective in life.

That high for DSL and telephone, something does not seem right?!? Either there are a few months worth of past billing or there is some form of outrageous billing charges. At any rate it seems that with that type of bill it will be avoidable that the service will be cut off, unless you have someone who can help with it. However keep in mind that the bills will not stop so a more directive actions needs to be planned out as how will you continue to pay such an absorbent amount?

It seemed really high to me, too. After looking at the original poster's profile, I think the balance due might be listed in Philippine pesos. 2890.62 PHP comes out to around $65.17 US.

Thank you FrugalMommy, I went back to look at the check image and noticed it did not have $ before the amount, so that would be correct. At any rate, I do hope the member checks the monthly break-down expense as it is quite hard to pay a monthly bill, let alone a double and or triple invoiced bill. Thanks again and see you around the Lot.

ask the biller why they charge you like that. sometimes there are hidden charges for those bills. it sounds weird but it happens most of the time. better check the bill.

I think we can all identify at some time with stressing out over our bills. there never seems to be an end in sight. just when you think you are all caught up for the month, the cycle just begins again. it's enough to keep you stressed out.

well,it happens to people often,I mean it's not only about bills but the expenditure of life or school!you'd better check the bill to know which part costs more!so the next month you may cut your expenditure!anyway,good luck!

hi check out your bill with the company and make them go line bu line as dsl should not be as costly as my 41 dollar cable bill , also check'th phone bill line by line to seeif you are billed for stuff you might not even use or need then make arrangements with family or friends to help you out on the bill

hello asliah, Why not try the monthly unlimited internet connection? I use to have been using a pre-paid card for internet usage,and it's really expensive. So i switched to an unlimited monthly bill,so i can use my internet connection unlimited and even set-up an wireless router so that my kids can access internet connection with their pc's. I understand how stressful it is when our bills comes every end of the month. Electric,water and internet connection bills...ugh...so much stress esp when our electric bill becomes higher every month. have a great day

Double check with your internet and telephone provider. There might be some discrepancies with it. It's really frustrating to be dealing with so much financial problems these days.

Well, it that mean you don't have enough money to pay for it or what? That is why you are so stressful. It is hard, to maintain a living and pay for all these bills at home. Me too, I try to do my best save as much money as I can. And I need a high - pay job to sustain me someday.

Is there no way you can come to some payment arrangement with them?

Anything that involves money is very stressful. I don't know what happened to your bills why it came up that way. Do you use the phone to overseas call? Do you pay monthly? How many days does the bill covered? If you can answer all these in your favor then there something going on on the system.
