I have a list written down in my checkbook. I've been paying the same bills of ours for so long I pretty much have the due dates all memorized.

Now ask my husband what's due when, and he'll give you a blank stare, haha

We pay them as soon as they arrive in the mail... so I have no idea when they are actually due. The only downside to this system is that if we don't get a paper statement, we never remember to pay it

I pay all my bills at the same time and have a Google Calendar reminder send me an e-mail every month. It's always the same bills, so I just have them all bookmarked and I pay them all at the same time. Though the condo fee I have to write a check for - I write it when I'm paying the rest of the bills.

Ours are all entered on a Google calendar - all bills and income. Some bills are standard dates/amounts, such as student loans. The rest I leave blank - it'll say "Directv" on the appropriate date and then I fill the amount in when I get the bill. It helps me see if there's enough in our account to cover upcoming payments.

I have a calendar up in our kitchen and I write the bills on their due dates. We always pay them way before, but it's good for us to have a visual.

auto bill pay all the way. Everything is auto for me. And I use mint.com like @char54 mentioned to track all spending including the bills.

@sunny: same here! Or if we misplace it we would forget since we automatically think it was already sent. Our system isn't the best.

Everything is auto-paid except for my student loan, which I get an email about and then I immediately pay it. I would never pay bills on time without it!

I achedule a payment as soon as they arrive in the mail!

Everything is either auto pay or I pay it/schedule a payment the day I get the bill! No margin of error.

I still use the same system I developed when I was a poor college kid. I get paid every other Friday, so every payday, I pay ½ of each bill amount due. That way, if I ever had to skip a Friday or forgot or whatever; no bill would ever be late enough to ding my credit. Also, that way there is no “surprise” large bill due at the end of the month, and my credit card balance is always kept reasonably low (I always avoid utilizing more than 30% of my available credit to help boost my credit score).

My husband is paid once a month on the 30th of the month and as soon as his pay is deposited, I pay the mortgage, daycare and taxes. At the end of every month, I sweep whatever is left over in checking into savings.

I pay everything online and keep tabs in excel as a backup system.

I use google calendar. I have a ton of bills, there is no way I could up keep up without a calendar.

Calendar reminders.

I have a master list of bill due dates as part of our household budget spreadsheet. Some bill due dates fluctuate.
