The ideal, of course, is that you manage to keep your expenses within the limit of what you earn per month and always set aside an amount for investment or a contingency reserve, at the very least.

But we can't always live in an ideal world.

And there may not be enough money for certain things in a given month.

In this case, it is worth prioritizing paying bills.

Due to the risk of service interruption, the possibility of non-payment of usage fees is excluded.

Most credit card accounts have a minimum payment option.

But it is one of the highest interest rates on the market, so it is important to prioritize this account as well.

3. Note the payment date.

Then another important point is to write down everything you need to pay.

4. Plan your payments in advance.

Once you enter your bill due dates into your calendar, you can log into your bank account once a month and schedule all of your payments for that month, instead of waiting for the due date.

Invoices usually arrive well in advance and are often accessed in digital format well before the due date, allowing for planning and avoiding late payments.

5. Use Direct Debit

However, there is one thing that can make your financial life easier: using the automatic debit offered on certain types of paychecks.

Similarly, direct debit authorization can usually be done through your bank's app or internet banking. Just open this option and search for it.

Some companies offer the possibility of automatic discounts, such as telephone companies. Then, simply register the code provided by the company or the name of the company itself in the banking app.

Okay, the delay is over.
