Use a Notebook for Organizing Bills

I am on Social Security and I pay all my bills on the 3rd of each month. When a bill comes in I open it, write the amount in a notebook, and place the bill in a old refrigerator bin I keep in my desk. That way when the 3rd comes around all my bills and amounts are written down. I check them off after I pay them.

I have filled one notebook over the past 10 years and on my second one now. I can look back and see what I paid last year or last month.
