Paid a pile of bills today, which did not take very long (online).
Credit card & mortgage.
Auto insurance bill was due.
Finally got water bill.
So paid all February bills and had - $0.02 in checking. I am expecting a $5 auto reimbursement, so sounds good to me. Surplus? It's been a while. Holiday season is just so crazy.
Yes, my whopping $5 surplus!!!
I have auto license renewal here - due in about 6 weeks. Think I'll just throw it on the card in 6 weeks. I think this is the only government bill I have ever seen you could card without a fee. I certainly will take advantage!
Anyway, April is going to be brutal. $1200 due to IRS. $2300 due to county for property taxes. $500 life insurance premiums due April 1. Blech!
Oh we're prepared for it. But it always sucks to fork over all that money. !! April and December are just our sucky months. Some reason we just lumped all the big crap together. That's what we get for buying homes in December. Got steals for buying in the off season, but always have those big bills (home insurance) due with Christmas and property taxes. We have some other life insurance and disability insurance all comes due December too. Figures.
We usually don't owe much to the IRS. (Usually our state refund equals our IRS balance due). So that one was unusual. Just made it more difficult this year.
