    How much time a month do you spend on bills?

    I have almost everything automated except 2 payments that cannot be automated, they take me about five minutes with a couple button clicks. Then I spend about 15 minutes a month reviewing my finances to make sure everything is in line with where it's supposed to be.

    I have one checking account that income comes into. This account is not online, it doesn't have any debit or automatic payments associated with it. I write a few checks a month from it to another checking account that is online which I pay my bills and get cash from.

    Probably 20 minutes a month paying the few bills I do have.

      I do the same. Even in Brazil I have everything automated. I was doing the accounting on my B&B last night and my partner hasn't written 20 checks this year on the thing. Life is good.

          about $2500 a month in expenses, almost everything I own is paid for, except my son's private school, gas, internet, etc.

            5-10 min per month I'd say.

                Hardly any, everything is automated.

                I requested to file taxes once a year instead of every quarter (company taxes over here in Holland)

                10 mins a month, tops.

                    about 5 minutes I guess, I review the bills before making a payment though, I don't have them set to be paid from my bank account automatically

                      All I know is that if I didn't have the automatic checking, I'd be in serious trouble -- because I'd forget to pay everything each month.

                      Actually, my credit score has been stellar ever since I've had automatic Chase bill pay for the last few years.

                          Only about 5 mins a month on the 16th.

                          The bills come in sporadically during the month so I quickly check over them before for discrepencies before clipping them up on the whiteboard to be paid.

                            i usually overpay
                            i haven't paid a water bill in over a year, i still have a huge balance with them..lol

                            some people when they get drunk or messed up buy stuff online.
                            i forget that i already paid bills, and i go online and pay them...its funny, but sometimes too much

                                I thought the exact same thing as I saw the piles of flesh awaiting to pay their bills on the nearest banks ...

                                          Just a few minutes is all I HAVE to spend. I sometimes spend some extra time reviewing charges though. Once in a while I catch some kind of billing mistake.

                                            everything for me is automated except the water bill.
                                            that is an annoying phone system that has 10 million options

                                              most of mine are on autopay, with the exception of credit cards.

                                              I had my electric bill on autopay until three months ago when I checked my account I was dinged for $840 dollars The highest my bill ever was was around $280. Some idiot ended up making a mistake while reading the meter.

                                              Going forward, that is a manual one. I just set reminders in Google calendar and spend at most 10 minutes a month

                                                I don't like automated payments that come out of my account.

                                                I spend about 20 minutes a month going online and making payments each month.

                                                    I spend about 20 minutes a month going online and making payments each month.
                                                    Why don't you like them?

                                                    Me, about 10 minutes max a month. Most automated, 2 or 3 by hand.

                                                        Hardly any time at all. Just about everything is set up direct-debit, and anything else can easily be done in seconds with online banking...

                                                          about half an hour once a week or so. Most things are automated, but I keep a strict budget and I'm a stats hound, so I like to spend time with my numbers.

                                                            I review bills before paying so don't have any automated ones. Takes me 10 min maximum through online banking.

                                                                Actually, my credit score has been stellar ever since I've had automatic Chase bill pay for the last few years.
                                                                So fucking true.

                                                                My card company called me last week or the week before and said there were several late payments posted on another one of my cards and wanted an explanation. I pointed out that I had the minimum balance on auto pay and hadn't had a late payment in 3 years.

                                                                Ahh certainty.
