Procrastination Tax: It's not punishment enough, why?

Paying Bills Late

Timothy,
I like your response to my blog post. I want to share one idea about why many people may pay bills late, that comes from my life. Years ago, when I struggled with money, I dreaded paying my bills because I felt emotionally (and financially) depleted when I did so. I felt that my money was a finite resource, and paying a bill meant I'd have less of it. This was all my dysfunctional relationship with money speaking...

Once I learned to shift my mindset from lack to abundance and I realized that money flows IN as well as out, I no longer dreaded paying my bills. Simply changing my own self talk did it. Maybe others can be helped by this suggestion too.
