Is it payday for you?
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)?
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage?

Yesterday was our pay day
I pay all the bills.
Our car payment is the largest monthly bill ($220).

Yep it's payday here!
DH pays the bills, but we sit down usually once/month and go over everything together so we are on the same page.
Our biggest expense is our car payment, after rent.

Is it payday for you? I don't know. It is for one of us since we are opposite Fridays.
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? I pay the bills from our joint checking account.
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? I'm not really sure since we no longer have car payments.

Payday was yesterday
I take care of all the bills.
Our biggest bill after the mortgage is the cable/internet/phone bill. It is almost $220 and it disgusts me, but it is our only option. (well besides not having it)

Yep it is payday for me...
I usually do the bills but since DH is not working right now he is handling that (scary thought)...
Our biggest expense is daycare ---- It is actually HIGHER than our mortgage.

I am receiving gov't mat leave benifits and lost track of when my pay day is. Dh takes care of bills from our family account. Highest bill after mortgage is day care. It is pretty much as high as our mortgage payment. I am well aware of where money goes, DH only takes care of doing all the transfers and making sure everything is done on time.

Usually the begining of the month is our pay check, but our bigger ones come in the winter months.
I pay the bills
After morgage(its payed 2 times a year cause all the land is in it) it would be machine payments...tractors, feed wagons, skid steer etc and that is about $8000 a month or hire hands wages

Is it payday for you? yup, we are paid monthly
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? We both have bills in our names and pay them but that happened just out of lazyness when we set up the bills (I did the ones that had to be done in person)
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? Our TV etc bill is huge right now when we move I plan to change that up and save some $

Is it payday for you? No -- since DH and I are teachers, we get all of our summer paychecks on the last day of the school year. We have to budget it out for the summer.
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? DH takes care of all utility and household bills, I take care of all things Betsy (which during the school year includes daycare -- ouch!).
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? Biggest monthly expense is daycare -- lucky me! I'm enjoying not paying it for the summer though!

OMG, Chrystal!!! My MIL now is 1/3 owner of their HUGE family farm in SD and I can't believe the amount of $ that comes and goes.
Day care... wow, ladies! So expensive!
I pay the bills
I get paid whenever I have a contract complete and then on the 15th from university. DH gets paid on the 20th.
Our biggest cost not including mortgage is the phone/internet/DirecTV bill at $150/month. When school is in, Kensley has pre-school 2/week and I think it's $220/month.

Is it payday for you? Was yesterday, yes! But not DH, he only gets paid once a month.
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? DH pays the bills and I keep the book balanced.
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? Probably our car payment as well, followed by car insurance.

Is it payday for you? We don't have a payday anymore. No fun.
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? I handle all of our finances.
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? Groceries. We spend $400-$500 a month on groceries. Our cars are paid off, thank goodness, because our car note used to be $525. Oh, wait.. Does child support count? That's $613 a month for one child..

Is it payday for you? nope! paid on the 15th.
Who normally pays the bills (as in keeps track of them, not as in who makes the money to pay them)? John does. It completely and utterly stresses me out too much. I freak about every little penny. This is a much happier place if John controls the finances. Now, we do have an online budget/spreadsheet we contribute to each month. So I know where every cent goes, but don't have to worry about it.
Biggest expense other than rent/mortgage? Childcare. Total for both boys is around $1100.
