Answer 1

In YAHOO mail there is a TAB for Calendar.

You can put things on the calendar and set it up to email you reminders.

would that help?

this is traditionally called a TICKLER FILE. - when people did it with file folders and paper. You might search for handy hints that way.

Answer 2

If you aren't short of money, but just don't want to pay them early - send them post-dated cheques as soon as you get the bill. Or, if you use online bill payments, you can post-date those payments too. You could set up some bills on automatic withdrawal from your bank account - then you don't have to worry about missing the deadline to pay... but you have to be extra careful about reviewing your bank statement to ensure they took the right amount. Some bills can be automatically paid on your credit card (I do this to earn the reward points, then pay off the card in full at the end of the month - just one bill to think about!) -- good luck.

Answer 3

If you have Microsoft Outlook, it works really well for this sort of thing, and for keeping track of appointments and tasks. You can set up recurring reminders, like the 5th day of every month, 2nd Tuesday of every other month, a particular day each year (nice for remembering birthdays)... pretty much any cycle you want.

Answer 4

I use a yahoo account. There is another way but I don't know what it is. If you use your yahoo calendar and put in the days of the bills you can set the calendar to send you 2 reminders.

Answer 5

You need a misrosoft works program. I have Microsoft Office Xp and I set alarms to go off to remind me to pay the bills !!
