As we are in a new month.The bills will be coming in.
When the bills come in,do you pay it when you received it.
Or do you pay it with the date that they say.
As for me.I always pay my bills when the come in.
I remember that I used to wait till I get all of them.
But sometime the bills come in different times.
Then maybe lost contact.Yes,I pay my bills when they come in.
How about you?did you know that if you pay it earlier that your credit score will go up on the positive side.I do not know how this work t his.But I heard.
Not that I am worry about mine.But young people should be aware of this.

I pay mine right away. I never put it off until later. I am the complete opposite of a procrastinator. When I was a kid in school I would do my homework as soon as I got home and then I had the whole night to relax and not think about it. I could never understand those other kids that would do their homework at the very last minute right before bed time.

@TiarasOceanView Very true and I would never forget to do it because then I would have to face the nuns with that long wooden ruler.

@amadeo I have all my bills entered into a spreadsheet so that I can monitor which are paid and which ones are due, which saves me from being caught by surprise. I also know what the annual outgoings would amount to on a weekly basis.

We probably pay the bills somewhere in the middle of the road. Not when we just get them - and not when its due the next day. I do think it's better to pay them as you get them - then there's less of a chance of forgetting about them (which sometimes happens 
).

I do pay mine when they come in, I don't wait until the day they are due because I am always worried they won't get to them on time.
The only time I don't is when I just don't have the money like when our newborn was in the hospital so much. My husband lost a lot of work time so we are now behind and playing catch up which I HATE so much!

It depends on what bill it is and how much it is. If we have the money to pay it earlier then we do if not we wait till pay day. I also pay one or two wills every week a few dollars here and there. Some bills we spilt during the money till it's due.

I pay some of them when they come in and I leave others for later. Sometimes I forget or don't have time to go to the company store and pay it so I will leave it for the next month. Most bills don't have consequences of they are overdue so I don't get stressed about them!

We get paid once per month for both of us so we pay them when our checks come.

Depends, but always before the last date of payment, so as to avoid getting disconnected or having to pay any penalties.

Most of mine are on auto-pay so I don't have to worry about it. But I try to pay things that aren't on auto pay as soon as they come in.

I pay them asap, and if its a credit card bill I try to pay half because paying the minimum balance isnt that much helpful

I do pay my bills when I get them. Sometimes I wait a few days but I like to get them paid off right away and not risk any late fees.
