Who else likes paying their bills about a minute before they're due?

Same here... although for some reason I still keep the paper bills (like all of them... for the past 13 years...). I have an Excel file spreadsheet that is essentially a glorified checkbook ledger. When I get paid (like... today), I enter the pay amount and the deduct all of the scheduled bills that will be paid until next pay day. That way I know how much money I really have vs the number on my current bank statement.

Haaahaaa... I'm a freelancer. Eeny, meeny, miney... moe, pay this one, the rest of you bastards can wait.

I think most corporations are like this, every dealer I worked for, and industrial companies that Ive worked for all did it

All my bills that support it are on auto-pay. Others are paid through Checkfree. "Paying bills" for me personally is a 1-minute-a-month activity. At work is a much more involved process.
