Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like throwing up on bill paying day?

just wonderin'  :-/

[smiley=bigcry.gif]

well... maybe not throwing up... but I do get a little gassy.

with warm regards,

I get palpitation while opening the bills ....  :P

I put it off till the last possible moment.  Thanks for reminding me that my CC bill is due.

:P

;)

It's nauseating.

Yup - and avoidance is not an option. . . wish it were.

Angie looks after paying the bills 8-)

Angie, mind if I smack him?  I swear, it won't be really hard.

Smack away Jen  ;D

I am nervously waiting for the HYDRO BILL :P

I'd throw up but I haven't had anything to eat.

My wife Dianne handles the distribution of the finances.  Every payday, I walk into the house with my unopened envelope placed in my open hands, head looking down, and say,"Here's the money babe". She responds with a look that could kill. I laugh every time.

I wouldn't even know if she has a secret divorce account. I trust her without question. I don't buy lottery tickets because I've already won.
Sometimes I feel like I'm already in Heaven and she is in it with me.

She does the taxes too.

Steve, you get a "Get Out of Spousal Hell Free" card.

(that translates to awwwwwwwwww!!!!)   :)

Let me clarify before I get smacked any more LOL I too hand over my paycheck to Angie who is much better with the money than me.

She is awesome with keeping everything paid on time!$$$$$$

There's something to be said for online banking - I rarely actually see bills, since it automatically pays them. (go ahead, smack away....)

I pay almost everything online, too, but not automatically.  I just tell my bank who to pay and they do.

I had to write a check to the DMV today and I almost forgot how . . . ;D

I get no fun to be around when the bills arrive. I hate those surprise Visa bills with 22 dollars on it when you had to use it because you were out of cash at the grocery store. Always forget them. Really steams me.

Pat is the financial wizard in our home.

I earn the money and she spends the money.

She's just better at her job than I am at mine.

(Not really - and she knows it. But it's a funny damned joke. If I had to pay somebody to do everything she does, I'd have to moonlight cuz I don't make enough to do that - hence the term "teamwork.")

Nope.  Does not bother me a bit.   [smiley=tongue2.gif]

There is an occasional 'What the fock is this charge?!' when looking over the cc bill.  My wife usually says 'It is one of yours.', to which I reply 'Oh.  Hmmm.   Well thats alright then.'.

bill paying day??? I didn't know there was such a thing...I don't even open my bills anymore. I'd also wish they would stop wasting paper mailing them to me!

And I keep reading this and thinking.. oh but it is.. it is.  

(not a good option, but nonetheless..)

I don't feel like throwing up on bill day. I do feel like I'm losing one of my family jewels though.

thats why my wife does it now.  Also, it gives her a better understanding that we are not millionaires.  But I still need to leave the room when she is writing out those checks

Bill paying day seems to be EVERY day and I don't get sick, I feel EMPTY.

Never have cash flow problems....money comes in and is goes right back out again ;)

-P.

I don't. Well, not anymore, at least.

I think happy thoughts and feel grateful because I have that money on my bank account in the first place and then think of the people who will benefit of the money next - maybe it will help others to put food on the table and pay some of their bills.

I know it may sound strange and I used to dread paying bills but changed my attitude. Works for me. :)
