You can also set up a reminder to send you a text: Here’s an important part – Click ‘Add a Reminder.’ Set the reminder to Email (this will send you an email reminder). If you’re done hit ‘SAVE’ but you might want a couple of more options (You can always go in and edit): Log onto your Google Calendar and open up the month for your bill due date:Ĭlick on the day you need to pay your bill on, enter the bill name, and hit “edit event details”:Įnter the details (date what the bill is whatever you need). Let me show you how I set up Google Calendar as my Bill/Pay Calendar: Set it and forget it (well, until the bill is due). When I set the date up in Google Calendar so it repeats monthly. Some bills, like my mortgage or car payment, are due the same time of the month every month. I don’t have to always log into my calendar. Since my cell gets email it’s like an extra reminder since it’s on my phone and my computer! I take my bill and log onto my account, go to the day I need to pay the bill by, and write in a reminder that gets emailed to me when it comes up. The real useful fail safe is Google Calendar. Next I write that date I figured out on the bill. Hey, you have to know your weaknesses sometimes and figure out ways to trick yourself around them. Why? Because even though I know I should pay it on the date I have set I still end up procrastinating. *Yup, I give myself 5 or 6 days for online bills.
For online bills I pad about 5 or 6 days before the due date.* If I need to transfer money I give myself about a week too to make sure the money gets transferred over (I keep my savings in my Capital One 360 Savings account).
For example: If I have to mail a bill I give myself about a week. I then determine when I have to actually pay the bill to make sure I meet the due date. When I get a bill I open it up and check out the due date. I’ve been experimenting with Google Calendar to set up reminders to pay my bills on time! That happens to me too! What’s another fail safe you can use? Or the envelope gets mixed up with other mail and junk and when you find it it’s already late. Problems occur when you don’t notice the date or forget to keep up with the bill. You can write the date you need to pay the bill on the envelope. But if you are like me you would rather keep the money in savings for as along as possible or you budget in such a way that certain bills get paid with different paychecks.

How to Set Up Google Calendar Reminders to Pay Your Bills on Time Keep reading and I’ll tell you about a few systems I’ve used to pay bills on time including how to set up one of my favorites - Google Calendar. I definitely needed a bill/pay calendar system that would work for me! There is just about nothing more frustrating than looking through your bills and realizing one was already past due! Digging out of it was tough but what made it harder was paying late fees because I would miss the credit card due date by a few days or so. There was a time when I had a lot of credit card debt. If you are lucky you can pay the bill online but that’s not always an option (I’ve found that some companies have a cut-off time). Have you ever realized you had a bill sitting around that was due today?
