Late charges is a bad one for me. It's not even that we don't have the money, I just always put off sending the bills in!!! I'm working on this.

Thanks for the link! Our bad habit is not transferring from our savings to our checking, causing us overdraft fees several times a year

My Diary Queen habit is my bad habit! LOL

Very true. I've gotten a lot better with this. Although last month, I put my weekly UPS bill on a shelf and totally forgot to pay it. So, I was charged a 5% late fee on the balance. They eneded up making an extra $12 on me.

Thanks for that link, I think I fall into some of those area she mentioned

! It was a good idea that she mentioned about creating a list, normally I just rely on the memory

Good article! I've managed to put an end to late fees- all of my bills are automatically set up to be paid every month through my bank's free online billpay system. One less thing to worry about!
