When do you pay your bills? (rant)
 

In the last year because the landlady who lives below waits until the last day to pay the bills, I've had the water and gas shut off.

What I don't understand is why people who have the money wait until the last possible day to pay bills. Any of you out there? Care to explain your thought process?

Interest.

My parents do this. They want to get the extra pennies in interest.

By "last day" did you mean 3 months late?

I pay the bills that come in red envelopes with words like "urgent" on them. I'm a lazy man.

If only it were that easy

I pretty much pay every bill the day it arrives, otherwise there's a good chance I'll forget about it.

Yea, seriously - they don't shut things off if you pay on the last day or a few days late.

receive bill, put next to computer, log in to chequing account, schedule bill payment a few business days before due date.

I'm terrible with bills, luckily I'm not in charge of any of the ones in my house or I'm sure I'd have problems with stuff getting turned off too. I don't think I've paid my cell phone bill before they turn off my service in the last two years, and I've always had the money to pay.
