Answer 1

I am going to assume you know how to create and stick to a budget and just need organizing help in keeping the bills paid, filed, etc.

Check the mail, open the bills, write checks for them, and put them back in the mailbox. Sounds simple, but so many people set them aside to pay later and lose them, resulting in late charges and slow payment histories on their credit reports. If you are living paycheck to paycheck and have to set aside bills because the money isn't there to pay them, then that is a different story.

I know this isn't the best method, but I have a basket that I throw all bills into and about twice a year, I go thru all of it (usually labor day and memorial day weekends). I toss all utility bills older than 6 months, file credit card bills/receipts for major purchases, file bank statements in a binder, and toss the rest. Just make sure you don't toss any receipts that are needed for tax write-offs.

Budget - start by making a list of all expenses, even groceries, gas etc. Figure all expenses for the month, allow for a porton for insurances etc. Then add up all net income for that month, divide each list by four. Now see how much income is needed weekly to meet the amount for expenses. this is the amount you put into the bank each week.
