Do you HATE receiving BILLS each month?

hi,friend,in india we don't have much bills pressure,by god grace.We used to pay water bill,house tax,school fees yearly once...Telephone bill,electricity bill and rent if it is rented,we will pay monthly.We use credit cards very less,majority of the transactions are with cash. Here in india...we will spend the money on different heads from month salary-- 1]20%-house rent. 2]20%-groceries including food items [rice,grams,oil...] 3]10%-children education. 4]10%-clothes,interior 5]15%-all bills 6]25%-on savings like bank deposits,insurances,gold,plots etc..

I am really surprised my neighbors don't think I am crazy. Though I would assume they now know when I get my bills, cause I usually say out loud, "Dang it, not another one these dang things!" And maybe sometimes a few not so savory words are said about the company that is billing me. Although can't complain to much the only thing I pay on is the electric, cable,internet, and car insurance bill since those are under my name. Usually I pay them a few months ahead just so I don't have to worry about them to much. The cell phone bill and my husband's car insurance he pays himself. I don't drive his car and I don't really use any sort of phone, so he gets those for himself. I don't use credit cards so don't have to worry about any of that. Probably wouldn't be a good idea for either myself or my husband to have one of those. We like to spend money to much, and would most likely get into trouble with them..lol I generally don't go around creating bills, so basically on a monthly basis I only have the cable, electric, internet, and car insurance to pay. It's really not all that much, but sometimes just wish I could do away with them as well.

a lot of our bills are paid direct out of the bank and so we get quarterly update, which I hate. I really do not like comapines like my anaimal DVDs who sned me a reminder but never a bill, taht really annoys me and their letter tends to get forgotten now as it makesd me so cross, but I willpay them wehn I get round to it.

I hate bills more than most people because I really don't have the money to pay them. It is awful. Sometimes I can't sleep at night worrying about the bills.

I hate bills. Especially when you are trying to save money for something special, and then the phone bill or electric bill comes in & it's a whopper. I open everything the day it comes in, write how much is due on the calendar on the appropriate due date, and then file them in my bill file. I check the calendar every day to see what is coming up with which paycheck. Yuck.. bills are soooo tedious.

Yes...All of us do(especially my parents!).Well that's life we are all in business and we should always pay our bills the same thougth as we love to receive money. Actually, there are always some ways so we couldn't be so stressed out when receiving bills.On time when I watched Oprah, they were discussing about how to get over debts by cutting out credit cards, well that a wise thougth. So if we want lower bills then I think it's time to change our overspending routines:-)

I have always considered bills to be a simple fact of life and do not allow them to distress me unduly. I keep a planner for the year which I created in microsoft Excel,which shows all bills for the year and their approximate amount, so I am never caught unawares with an unexpected demand for something that I had forgotten.

Whoever said life was free LOL! It's the taxes I hate the most, we are taxed on EVERYTHING! Pretty soon they're will be a tax to breath, for every lungful of clean air we will be charged for! I am currently unemployed but I need my car to be able to drive to interviews etc and the amount of money I spend through petrol and VAT, car tax, insurance, MOT, repairs! Then there's the household bills coming in and the electricity and gas bills are always going up and up! The government are just another Sherwood of Nottingham robbing the poor and feeding the rich, or in today's case, robbing the poor to make bombs. Rant over! Least I can recycle the bills afterwards that's all they are good for the shredder! (once paid naturally) although there's only so much money they can squeeze out of my stone!

Yes I do and if anyone says they don't mind then they are either senile, wacko, lying or all three.

I tend get bi8lls on a regular basis, rather than the end of the month. Although I do get two lots of rates almost at the same time. I hate it! Here is a list of the bills I receive, if I can remember them all: Council Rates (2 lots, every 3 months) electricity (monthly) phone & internet (monthly Water (monthly) Water (2nd property) Emergency Services Levy (2 per year) Ambulance (once per year) Health Insurance (once per month) House & contents insurance (once per month) Car insurance (2 bills, once per month) I also get the "Save the River Murray" levy, but they just add that onto the Water bill. I'm sure I have left something out here, but it's hard to remember them all.

Of course, it is always the hardest day of a month when phone bills, gas bills, electricity bills etc, all these bills are sent to me. I think no one would be happy by receiving these bills, but you have to pay for them, or you would live a hard life in the next month, whether you are willing to pay for or not.

Sigh talking about bills, my phone bill just came. And it isnt even payday. ARGH!! That explains it all, why I hate bills. They notify you before you get pay day, so that once you get your pay, you will pay them first.

Do I hate bills? Yes....but I realize each one I get is a comfort item. Remember 100 years ago they didn't have gas bills. They didn't have cell phone bills or cable tv bills. And definitely not an internet bill. The world (mainly the US) is becoming a comfort country. We are obsessed with having our comfort items and don't enjoy nature in it's own anymore. I bet if everyone on here was thrown onto a deserted island (with no way to get off) with no technological items, at least 50% would kill themselves within a week from going insane. It's sad, but many would probably agree.

you had a perfect timing, my head and back neck is aching. i feel pressured whenever bills come one by one. Now i have received my phone bill, the next electric bill will come late this march and lastly my internet connection will soon be due. it really makes me feel sick, i am now jobless. i started a small store which is P 15,000.00 in philippine peso, i don't earn that much with it. in this regard, i take all the responsibility in our house, my parents don't work anymore. i hope i could earn more so i can provide the needs of my family.

To lessen the bill? Don't get married. hahaha... dont use electricity, dont use phone, and everything that will requires you to pay your bill! hahahha... good day lordwarwizard.

I hate them, I hate them, I hate them..... As soon as I pay them, they seem to just appear again, a never ending cycle. But without them, I guess I'd be living in a cardboard box, in a dark alley somewhere begging for change to buy food. So I guess I'll just paying them, I'm not happy about it, but I'll do it.

Hey you are right pal! It is bills all the way..it drains my purse ..making me wanting to earn more to meet the growing expenses. After all life is like this!!!!!!

Bills received are chucked aside. I do not open them. Afterall, my monthly bills are pretty standard and they are automatically paid from the bank account. I only checked my bank statement to ensure there is enough funds to pay. So receiving bills is no big deal for me.

yes, I absolutely hate bill time! Not to mention my bill time is twice a month. Although I have to say that when I have paid them I feel a sense of accomplishment! Then the sadness sets in....LOL

I don't hate receiving bills as much as I hate PAYING for them!
