Since we're a one-income family, i just transfer a set amout every other friday into our 'bill paying account', and i schedule our bills to be paid from that account only. And i set that up by adding up all our bills for the month, multiplying it by 12, then dividing it by 26. When i get a bill in the mail, i schedule it to be paid the day before the due date. It's super easy, and only $5.95 a month. DON"T GET A CHECKCARD FOR THIS ACCOUNT! What i did was open a second checking account at BOA, connected to our primary, but without overdraft protection.

Bill paying sucks no matter how you do it. ;) Have you tried using software such as Microsoft Money or Quicken? We use money to track our finances and it is fantastic. If you enter approximates into the budget section you can forecast your cash flow using that information and it even shows you a fancy-dancy graph so at-a-glance you know very close to an accurate amount that will be in your account(s) at any given time! <em>Diana's last blog post..<a href='http://oftheprincessandthepea.blogspot.com/2008/01/happy-35th-choice.html' rel="nofollow">Happy 35th, Choice</a></em> Ahh, I’m sorry.
