Yep, I totally understand every single part of it, and my problem is that I'm doing what you are talking about with 4 checking accounts and it is a paperwork nightmare! Ok, I am so far from the one to tell you how to do it but here are my thoughts. I saw the daily bill pay slot thing on your desk. That is a huge start. And I don't know what kind of filing system you do or don't have but starting one is good. I went to Walmart, bought 6 dollars 3 drawer pull out container things and I have them labeled for each checking account, personal bills, rental bills, etc. I open the mail each day and try, "try" to separate all of the trash and put the bills together and put them in that drawer. My other thought is to call Grace and beg them to let you get on the class. It is so awesome. My thoughts are so scattered because I am sleepy. So I better get to bed, but the next best thing to my tidbits is to talk to Logziella. She is the finance organizer queen and has tons of good ideas too. Dave Ramsey says just start somewhere and to do it daily. Something I still have a problem with but he is kicking me in the rear to take control over it, he has such good words. And know that you are not alone my dear. Love you!Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180764196840856181noreply@blogger.com
