It isn\u2019t having enough money. \u00a0It\u2019s actually balancing your bills against payday. \u00a0Have you ever considered why it is that your bills more times than not, don\u2019t ever fall on your payday? \u00a0Why is it that your bills come on various days of the month, all month long? \u00a0The bills may come on the 4th, 6th, 10th, 21st, 25th, and so on. \u00a0They come sporadically throughout the month, but they come all month.<\/p>\n<p>However, your payday comes at most 4 times a month, if you\u2019re lucky. \u00a0Four times if you get paid every week and I don\u2019t know very many who have it this way. \u00a0Most people get paid every other week or twice a month (the 15th and last day). \u00a0Then others get paid once a month, near the 1st.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1517 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryaclark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20171116-Bills-vs-Payday.png?resize=773%2C354\" alt=\"\" width=\"773\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20171116-Bills-vs-Payday.png?w=773&amp;ssl=1 773w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20171116-Bills-vs-Payday.png?resize=600%2C275&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20171116-Bills-vs-Payday.png?resize=400%2C183&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/20171116-Bills-vs-Payday.png?resize=768%2C352&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/>This mismatch is the biggest problem and I\u2019ve found that it\u2019s the key to the best solution for being successful at paying bills. \u00a0What if you got paid every time your bills were due? \u00a0You would probably pay the bill that day. \u00a0Isn\u2019t it strange that society has it setup so that your bills and payday don\u2019t align. \u00a0It\u2019s almost as if they want us to have problems paying. \u00a0Here\u2019s another thought, what if your bills were due on the day you get paid? \u00a0Wouldn\u2019t paying them be much easier? \u00a0So the key to getting better with paying your bills is to find a way to align these two days. \u00a0And yes, I have an answer for doing that.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#c7ced4;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#E1E8EE;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/familyplan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Family Plan Binder<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/familyplan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1025\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Family-Plan-Cover-e1493399146525.png?resize=115%2C149\" alt=\"\" width=\"115\" height=\"149\" \/><\/a> is available now! <p><\/p>\nOur team has worked very hard putting it together.
