Payday Report for 9-1-17

September 2nd, 2017 at 05:28 pm

I have been running most household expenses and a lot but not all of the medical expenses through credit cards. It makes it easier when payday comes to just pay the cards off in full. Most household expenses go on the Costo Citi card, most medical expenses go on the AMEX except for those companies who do not take it, as well as Netflix, storage, rare meals out, and cell phones, and all of DH's work travel expenses like plane tickets and hotels go on a miles card. The due dates are spaced through the month with the 3rd, 14, and 22nd so that works out nicely.

This is what I paid from the first paycheck in this cycle:

$2826.72 Citi Card
___56.83 Life Insurance DH
___45.30 Life Insurance Me
___90.50 BEP (Medical DD)
__120.00 Cash for Allowances and Gas
___40.00 BEP (Co-Pay DD)
___11.07 FCN (Medical DD)
___90.00 Next Wednesday's PT
-----------------
$3280.42 Total Bills Paid

I gassed up the car. I had 4 points and paid in cash so got a total of 50cents per gallon discount, which put me at $2 a gallon.

    I like the idea of using the CC and paying the card in full. For me unfortunately it doesn't work.

    We run all of our expenses through credit cards too. I pay them in full twice a month. I have no idea when the due dates are because I'm always paying in full before one would even come due.

    Amber, first you have to get to the point of no debt, which you are working hard on. I'd never try to do it if I still had debt.

    CCF--I generally only pay once a month, so I have to know the dates. It is nice not having them hit all at once.
