Bill Payment Checklist (Free Printable)

Monday Mailbag Q&A

I use Mondays to clear out my mailbox. This week I’m fulfilling a reader request for a bill payment checklist. Scroll down for this brand new free printable resource. It will help you get and keep your financial accounts in order.

Bill Payment Checklist

Question: Do you have a chart for tracking bills?

Hi, Jennifer.

I just found your web site, and it is wonderful. So much information for me to look over.

My problem is that I am a 79-yr-old lady whose husband is in a nursing home. That leaves me to learn and take care of all the bills and all the problems of the house. I am overwhelmed, for sure!

My husband did all that and never wanted to show me what to do. He wanted to be in control, so I let him. Now HERE I AM dealing with all this.

I was looking for a chart where I can list all my bills and when they are due and can also record when I paid it. Would you have a chart for that? I HAVE LOOKED FOR ONE AND CANT FIND ANY.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! THANK YOU!!!

Sally

Answer: Yes, I do now!

Hi, Sally.

I am so sorry about the circumstances in which you find yourself. Although I didn’t have any such kind of bill payment checklist before, I think it’s a splendid idea. So I created one just for you:

Free Chart for Tracking Bills

Yes! I want my free Bill Payment Checklist!



But I’m also sharing it here in case others want to use it, too. I even printed out a copy for my husband. Like yours, he handles all our bills. Very seldom do I ever even concern myself with financial matters.

However, when this COVID pandemic hit, Doug started trying to brief me on what I’d need to know to keep the family financially afloat should anything happen to him. I wouldn’t say he’s necessarily worried about facing an untimely demise, but as an anesthesiologist, he’s at a higher risk of exposure, so he’s tried to prepare me for that possibility, just in case.

Anyway, when he starts talking bills and insurance and taxes and don’t forget about this or that, it makes my head spin a little. So giving him a place to record all those reminders seemed a smart thing to do. Then I can slip it into a file to be pulled out later, on an as-needed basis. Hopefully, that won’t be for many, many years yet. But it pays to be prepared. So thanks for sharing your experience and thereby giving me the motivation to do so.

Love and prayers,
Jennifer

PS. While we’re on the topic of finances, one of our sons told us Dave Ramsey is offering a two-week free trial to his Financial Peace training. This offer includes free access to his kids’ curriculum, too. And while we’re all still on lockdown with the COVID quarantine, two weeks should be plenty of time to finish all the lessons in both programs. So that’s a win-win!

More helpful links for keeping track of important stuff:

  • Financial charts for children : This set of free printables is designed to help hardworking kids manage their savings and small business projects.
  • Keeping track of medications: This chart gives you a place to record times and doses of all your current medications on an up-to-date list to take with you to doctor’s appointments.
  • Homeschool report cards: Use card stock to print these grade reports, then redeem good grades for treats at local businesses.
  • High school transcripts: Here’s a free fully-editable transcript template to use for your home-educated high schoolers.

We drove out to Longview yesterday to explore 80 A We drove out to Longview yesterday to explore 80 Acres Market and came away SO IMPRESSED! What a gorgeous place and a lovely community gathering place!  It was fun for the whole family. The kids loved the face painting, bounce house, paper crafts, and bottled water — all free.  The adults enjoyed the live music, complementary coffee, and unique shopping experience (the entire inventory is switched out every two weeks).  Food trucks are also available on the premises along with ample outdoor seating, some playground equipment for the kids, and even a dirt pile open for digging and exploring.  The market is open every other weekend. They’ll be closed on Easter Sunday, but open the day before for everything listed above plus a giant egg hunt. So… fun time to check it out for yourself!  #flandersfamilytravels #fieldtrip
Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, read through it again, and complete a few more pages.  Packed with scripture, word studies, writing prompts, and gorgeous vintage artwork to color, it’s a great way to focus my heart and mind on the unfathomable love and unmerited grace that compelled Jesus to conquer sin, death, and the grave on behalf of all who put their trust in Him (including ME🙋‍♀️)!  If you enjoy coloring, journaling, and/or reflecting on Christ’s love, you can find BECAUSE HE LIVES — along with all of my other devotional journals — on Amazon.

I love leaving all our windows open to let the lig I love leaving all our windows open to let the light shine through, but the glare off this white wall blinds me whenever I’m washing dishes at our kitchen sink. So I decided to paint a mural to help absorb some of the reflected light!  Also, I figured it would be easier to keep painted shrubs and flowers alive than the real thing since we don’t have a sprinkler system and I sometimes forget to water the real stuff until it is limp and wilted — or worse!  #flandersfamilyhome #wallart #outdoorproject
I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE ye I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  What an inspiring book! I told my husband, who’d read it years before, that this book really made me grateful we had chosen to homeschool.  “That’s exactly what I thought when I finished reading it!” he responded.  It’s not that one CAN’T learn to think broadly in a traditional classroom — Doug and I both attended public schools as children, earned specialized degrees in college and graduate/medical school, yet still managed to retain a healthy curiosity about a wide range of topics.  It is just that our modern educational system favors benchmarked learning and early specialization, often at the expense of making interdisciplinary connections or pursuing tangential topics.  Each teacher piles on homework in a given subject, seldom pausing to point out how the material being presented in one course relates to anything the student is learning in other classes.  Modern classrooms stress outcomes, grades, results. They have little time or patience for the kind of “mental meandering” and experimentation that is vital to innovation.  Happily for us, that hasn’t been the case with homeschooling. We teach our kids the basics, expose them to a broad range of books, people, places, and ideas, let them delve deeply into investigating topics or developing skills that interest them, and discuss with genuine enthusiasm and appreciation all the things each of us are learning — collectively and individually — and how it all fits into the framework of our Christian worldview.  As parents, I don’t think Doug and I deliberately set out to create that kind of environment for our kids when we first started teaching them at home, but by God’s grace, that is what our homeschooling experiment evolved into. And books like Range make me extra thankful that is the case. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #homeschooling #lifestyleoflearning #recommendedreading
Today was “Disney Day” at our homeschool co-op Today was “Disney Day” at our homeschool co-op.  Abby dressed as my all-time favorite Disney character, Belle. She was smart, loyal, compassionate, and loved to read. 📕  Gabriel dressed as Pongo. This tenacious Dalmatian was courageous, resourceful, and made an excellent father. 🐶  And I dressed as a Public Service Announcement: Parents, make sure you watch your children around Disney as vigilantly as you’d guard your puppies around Cruella de Vil!🚧  #homeschoolcoopthemedays
I was privileged to get a sneak peak at Hard Is No I was privileged to get a sneak peak at Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad, chapter by chapter, as it was being written And I absolutely loved it!  Now (at last!) it’s officially available for preorder. I ordered mine yesterday and can hardly wait to read the print copy, complete with gorgeous artwork from @paintandprose and the unique perspective Dad shares the end of each chapter!  I’m overjoyed to think how incredibly blessed families across the globe are going to be when they read the timely, encouraging, biblically-grounded message presented in this beautifully written book. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #hardisnotthesamethingasbad
On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked me to marry him before slipping onto my finger an antique diamond ring his grandmother had taken off her own hand two days earlier and hand sized to fit mine.  He proposed on bended knee in the living room of his grandparents’ house in Corpus Christi, with Nanny and Poppie looking on, offering constructive criticism, and making him back up and re-do all the parts that THEY found unsatisfactory the first time. 😂😂🤣  The truth is, Doug and I had already been planning our wedding — and, even more importantly, discussing our hopes, dreams, and expectations for the life we’d share together after the ceremony — for months before his grandparents insisted he formalize things with an official proposal of marriage and a gorgeous ring I’ve worn proudly ever since. 💍  Either way — with or without a ring or a formal proposal — my answer to the question was a resounding “YES!” Agreeing to marry Doug remains one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. ❤️❤️❤️  #officiallyengaged #happilyeverafter
I recently finished Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s Becomi I recently finished Jinger Duggar Vuolo’s Becoming Free Indeed.  As relieved as I was to hear Jinger reaffirm her strong faith in God — as well as her love and respect for her parents— I still had a LOT of thoughts regarding the “disentangling” journey she shares.  You can swipe left to read a few of those thoughts.
