Planning trip to Alaska in 2014. In the past, we have been gone mostly 2-3 weeks at a stretch and pick up our mail when we get home. The only down side to this is every once in a while I end up paying...
I try to pre-pay anything I can. All regular bills like Electric -, water, phone, etc. My mail is forwarded to our son and he has our check book and can pay any thing. I pre-pay any credit card I have. Plus when we are some where with the inter-net I can go on-line and check balances. I also pay on-line when ever possible. In fact almost all my bills are paid on-line or drafted. I write very few checks.
