I hate this time of year. By this I mean, paying all the end of the year and holiday bills from the previous year. Not only that, but to add to it, I just found out that January 17th is supposed to be the bluest day of the year – probably for the same reasons that I’m complaining about. I guess the 19th is my bluest day.
I don’t like December and January money and bill wise because they’re so hard on the credit cards. Not only do you have holiday expenses if you’re buying presents for loved ones and or buying food and party supplies if you’re entertaining, but if you’re like me you also get some extra bills. For some reason The College of Nurses decided a long time ago that all nurses in Ontario had to renew their nursing licenses every December so that’s yet another December bill for me to pay.
I did manage to keep all the expenses down at Christmas time so we didn’t have a lot of extra bills thankfully, but there’s still more money going out this month than I want there to be.
Don’t you just hate paying bills? Yeah, I know it’s part of like, but I don’t have to like it.
No body likes bills:whether they are for January or December.However paying in a new year really sounds bad.
January is a difficult month, after lots of purchases: gifts, food, travel, I just want to hide the bills. I have to admit that it’s nice to have a savings account and not to stress to much over money. This is definitely on my resolution list for this year.
I totally agree that January is a bad month for paying bills. I am just getting over Christmas.

With Thanksgiving, Christmas and two week-end car rentals, I messed up finances so I was short rent for January. Ouch. Luckily, the leasing manager waived the late fees and gave me a few extra days. I couldn’t thank them enough for their kindness.
Tricia I completely agree with you! It’s funny how December’s magical time around the holidays completely vanish when when the bills show up and smack you in the face.
Well these bills are bad, but what I really hate is finishing taxes and all these paper work. Of course since we are in EU we have many new stupid rules without sense that gives me 5 times more useless work.
Btw. for bills in January is better if you are using debit cards instead of credit cards.
