Did you know that for most credit cards, loans, or even utility bills, you can request a different due date?

All my best,

I've done this before too, and it can make a big difference in the monthly budget.

Yep! I get paid on the 15th and 30th of every month, and my car payment was due on the 14th. I had it changed to the 16th so that it wouldn't be on the same paycheck as my rent. It made such a difference!

We did this with all our bills some time ago so that we can pay everything on the first.

Hi, Danni. What a GREAT idea! I have done due date changes for some, but not everything. I did set up a different due date for the medical bills, which is helping somewhat. How often can you change due dates, on, say, cc's? Do you call/write? Does it reflect negatively if you, say, change due dates several times a year (I havent done this, nor do I feel the need to do it). Thanks Whiz.

Hi Whiz - I have always done the changes by calling.

All my best,

Thanks for this tip! I never even thought about doing it. LOL We always have a tough time on the 1st of the month. We have the mortgage and most of our bills then. Then on the 15th we have extra. It is hard getting from the 1st to the 15th though. We can pay the bills and do it but it would be much more comfortable to have some put on the 15th. I'm going to call and see if any of our creditors would be willing to do this....
