Here I am, being more organized than ever before, and came dangerously close to missing two credit card payments. Ok, I say dangerously, but really they were due about 5 days off. But close enough that I could have easily forgotten. Especially considering I had the payments scheduled in my budget spreadsheet and money manager on my phone, but not in Bank of America, which is obviously the place that matters the most!
Nice catch, *patting self on back*, but must do a little better.

I make my credit cards email me every time I have a payment due…. (a feature of one of the CC’s I have)
As for the other credit cards.. I just check the balance on a daily basis *shrug* call me weird but I find it therapeutic lol

Yeah, I’m like FB. I check them almost daily. It’s a form of masochism, I know. Nice catch, though! Anything to avoid those nasty late fees!

Hee hee…. I’m going to check mine after lunch just to reassure myself that every posting on my credit cards are correct and match up with my sheet (I caught an errant one the other day! Good thing it was a payment that I forgot about, not a purchase)
