God, I hate bills.
Every so often I retreat to my work area, clutching tattered scraps of invoices and receipts, and indulge in a heinously liberating tantrum of writhing in a corner and having a moan while banging my head against the hardwood.
While chanting: go away, bills, gooo awaaayyyy. (thrashing and banging)
Then someone kindheartedly intervenes at some point during this bizarre ritual to peel me from the floor.
This is one reason I’m so anal about paying my credit card bills promptly after making a purchase, before the monthly billing cycle closes out. Although I love the rewards incentive for utilizing plastic instead of cash, I hate owing anyone anything.
M. will quite calmly allow his bills to pile up and fester in some stark corner of the apartment, unopened. “Oh, this was due two days ago,” he will nonchalantly say. “Pass me the corn chips?”
You do not want to see my spazzed-out reaction to money being pissed away on late fees.
We are works in progress.
Developments afoot—M. is on a rigorous credit-repair regime and, inevitably, I have taken over all bill-paying duties for our household.
Damn it.
=^..^=
OMG, I most definitely know TOO well how it feels:-(
I agree, I love the benefits you get by using plastic but I will pay off my credit card a few times a month so that the amount doesn't keep growing.
I hate bills too!!!

It you want less bills, then stop spending you silly, brainless, ass.
Stop buying on credit brainmush.
Earn it first then pay second if you can afford it, not the other way around.
If only you were a man!
Sigh!

[...] Okay. I totally get that I should not get this excited over bills—especially now that my finances are in flux—but to be honest, I was completely over the moon to pay my Discover Black card bill this month. Which is totally a refreshing change from the twisted funk that bill paying usually puts me in. [...]
