Taking control of a messy household and life is a way to invigorate and make a person feel more in control of their life. Many people like the feeling of being organized. You feel more in control. With so many people's lives in financial ruin, a bill organizer is an easy step that can help pave the way to organizational success and regaining control.

Bring your bill organizer, envelopes, stamps, pens, calculator, stapler and checkbook to that location. This streamlines the process. Bills will be paid quickly and easily. Once a bill is paid, write on your copy of the invoice the date, amount and how it was paid. If you paid by check write the check number. This will make it easy if there becomes an issue with the bill. If you need to call the company, you will only need to locate the last invoice and be able to state "I paid XXX on XXX by check or debit." Monthly all bank account owners should receive a statement. Review this when it comes. This will make sure that there are no unnecessary or incorrect charges or fees added to the account. Keep all statements for the current year together. It will make the end of the year tax job a lot easier. Store the older years in a box in the garage or basement. Ask your tax preparer how long these should be stored. Destroy all statements older than that. It creates less clutter. If you pay bills each month on the same date, make it an easier process for yourself. Pre address a few envelopes. When it is time to pay the bill, you just need to write a check, put it in the envelope and mail. How streamlined is the bill paying process now. Keep the envelopes in the current monthly bill file section where they are ready to use. Organizing bills as in life can be easy. It will make a person feel more in control of their situation.
