Ever had one of those days where everything seems to be going okay when suddenly your realize you’ve forgotten to pay off the credit card bill? It can definitely ruin your day, not to mention ruin your bank account with late fees. These days most people have caught onto online banking and bill pay, but a lot of people haven’t caught onto the friendly email reminders available on most banking sites. Some sites will even text message the reminder to your cell phone. Among the available options, there is usually a reminder that will notify you when a new statement is available, or when a payment is due within x number of days. This can be a lifesaver especially if it means saving you 50 bucks in late fees, or that low interest rate. If you really like the idea of e-reminders be sure to check out Google Calendar where you set up email and text message reminders for any event scheduled on your calendar. Oh, Don’t Forget is another convenient site to check out that lets you send free text message reminders at a date and time you specify.
