Which bill do you pay more attention to?

Power, Water, Internet, Insurance, Phone, Gas, Grocery, House or what?

They are all pretty much the same month to month except for food. If I go out to eat too much (which is kind always) then it's way high. I keep telling myself I need to cut down on food spending so I watch that one, but ... 🤷‍♀️

@sarabee1995 Never cut back on food spending if you can afford not to, it is a false economy. Eating out may be regarded as extravagant, but it supports a complex network of supply chains and people's livelihoods. Eat out to help out!

@SunshineGirl Lol, well, I don't cook so I eat out a lot!!

right now, most of my day to day living expenses are covered by the ministry of defence. and i don't need a clothing allowance for fatigues...

my apartment is owned by family business, though i have no idea when i will live there again, if ever. my personal mobile is a company item, as is my credit card account. my car was a gift, but it is months since i last saw it.

so, bills? no, my living is cheap, now, but so, i guess, is my life.

My bills are a little different most are covered under one bill ., ( my rent) even though my heat, water, trash removal, and maintenance is all together it still is way less than if I paid for them all individually . That leaves my phone , internet and a self storage unit and all are low.
I pay more attention to my rent in case it goes up and I’ll move, no problem there I’ve lived here for 11 years.
Eating out can be by far my most expensive bill but I also love the foods I can get for free or close to free. Seafood is close to free if you live on the coast and you have a license.
I am fortunate in that.

All of those bills are important. Lol. I pay enough attention to pay them on time and if I can lower the cost once in awhile.

None that you mention really affect your credit. What does would be where actual credit has been extended: mortgage, car loan, credit card, etc. If you ever have difficulty, these are the bills to pay first.

I pay almost my entire month’s bills in week two. Week three is alimony. Week four is the mortgage. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Never be late. Never overextend yourself. Good credit makes life much easier.

My end of the year taxes and insurance. Property taxes are horrible in this red state.

equal attention to all, but would prioritize house, power, and food if pressed

All of them. My wife has mild learning disabilities and she is susceptible to cold callers who promise to reduce utility bills. Fortunately we are not so bothered now that the energy crisis has put most of the smaller companies out of business, but she did manage to get our telephone and broadband disconnected last year 🤦‍♀️

They all pretty much get paid at the same time of the month in a clump. But the two I keep an eye out for most are the home mortgage (for some reason it has the shortest turn around time) and my credit card (so I avoid any interest rates kicking in).
So my husband pays for our homeowners insurance, gas, and electricity, and I am usually response for water and internet. Oh, and there is also the mortgage which each of us pays half of.

Electricity, rent, insurance and phone. That's all the bills I have each month, actually.
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
I pay them àll on the first of every month and groceries I buy every Sunday

Water big on very resourceful, food & growing a garden helps, gas planned trips.
The bill 💵 that most adequately covers the bills.
