Do you usually sit down to pay your bills all at once? This process can be made almost completely effortless each month by using your bank’s automatic bill paying service.
There are two options you can use, and in most cases both options are free.
1. Use your bank’s bill paying service and schedule the transaction through them.
2. Use your creditor’s bill paying service and preschedule your payment to come out of any checking account you choose.
Most services offer other convenient features like letting you know when your payment is received via email. You also can often have a reminder set up to email you a couple of days before payment due date is set, so you’re reminded of the deduction. Once you get your new service set up, notify your bank and creditors to stop sending paper statements, go completely paperless. You’ll love not getting all that extra mail. Check with your bank or creditor; all of these and more special services can usually be set up online to save you both time and money.

Many people need better more efficient storage, but few rarely need more storage. Why not build a bigger barn, right? Often times the things you really want to keep that you obviously spent good money for end up being clutter. You’ll need to come to terms with whatever space constraints you have. Strongly consider the decision of renting a storage unit or using the spare bedroom to store things you rarely ever use. Make a decision that supports your values and desires to live a simpler life.
If you have things you love, but honestly never use it’s likely time to part with them. The peace and clarity that you will experience when your home is free of all the clutter will make you ask one question. Why, oh why didn’t I do this sooner? Eliminate clutter so you can breathe again.
