Have you paid the premiums for your mortgage life insurance yet? I nearly forgot to pay my wife’s premiums recently. It’s a lot of hassle if you forget to make any payment.

In fact, managing your financial payment schedule is pretty confusing. So using a tool like Google Calendar with its email or SMS notifications can be pretty useful to remind you that something needs paid.

I’m planning to create a list of events for all my ongoing expenses in Google Calendar:

  1. car payments
  2. credit cards
  3. mortgage payments
  4. life insurance
  5. tax deadlines
  6. building management fees

I wonder how many others I need to add before I’m comfortable with not forgetting things. The regular payments aren’t so bad, but anything less than one month in frequency needs a little ‘help’.
