I used to HATE paying bills—filling out checks, finding stamps for the envelopes, getting everything to the post office, and (back in my “poverty days”) deciding who got paid in full this month and who could be put off with a partial payment. Then, about 20 years ago, with a comfortable and steady income, I set up bill pay with my bank and haven’t looked back. Now all I have to do is examine each bill as it arrives to make sure it says “No payment required” (because I try to maintain a 2 month cushion) and post the info to a spreadsheet whenever I get around to it. I occasionally need to increase the regular payment, or make an additional one, but that’s quickly done. When I started, 20 years ago, I said I’d quit if the bank ever messed up, but that hasn’t happened (yet).

It’s probably best to not even be in the same room as her when she’s paying bills.
