Don’t know which bills to pay first? Pay all household bills first, in this order:
Rent/House payment
Electric
Water
Garbage
Car insurance
Car payment
Cable
Phone
Internet
Credit cards (pay last)
All bills that keep your home running are the most important. You cannot get ready for work without electric.
What’s the point in having a phone if you get kicked out of your home for not paying rent?
Your Internet will not work without electricity. Pay all bills within the “walls” of your home first. Then car, then everything else.

/ May 19, 2012Makes perfect sense. I was paying my car payment first. I should pay my rent first. I cannot live in my car!
Thanks, very informative!

/ May 19, 2012Thanks, it took me about ten years to figure out how to become a household accountant, bookkeeper, and CFO.
Not to mention reading countless finance books (yawn). I am glad you found this helpful. Thanks for visiting and commenting Steve.
