Thrifty Idea for Keeping Up with Your Monthly Bills

In the past, I have had a had time keeping bills together, making sure everything was paid, never having my address labels with my bills etc. I recently made me a bill binder. It includes a list of my month bills for each month with extra spaces to write in unexpected bills (dentist, doctor etc), extra envelopes, address labels, payment books, and a holder for my bills I receive in the mail. I made my list of monthly bills on the computer in a chart with spaces to include the due date, amount due and then a space to mark paid. I recycled an old 3 ring binder from work that was going to get throw away. Below is a picture. It has been the handiest thing for me. As soon as I get a bill in the mail, I insert the due date and the amount due and put the bill in the bill holder. Below is a picture.
