My DH is still old school. He pays all of his bills by check once he gets the monthly statement and has never missed a CC payment in his entire life. That takes a lot of dilligence but he does have 10 cards to which he uses for various expenses throughout the month. I live by autopay on full balance since I'm fortunate enough to not have big personal bills thanks to DH.
Can you pay bills through mint.com, or is it like manila?

You can't pay bills through Mint, it just shows balances and transactions.

This is awesome, is this on Excel or what is this on? I use excel but it looks nothing like this!!
Its done in Numbers for Mac OSX. Similar can be done with multiple worksheets in Excel, just it doesn't look quite as nice.
I go ahead and go paperless, get emails when statement is cut. And I also use mint.com to manage spending. Also alerts me when payment is coming up a couple days out. But like previous post, I have all due dates memorized
Mint supports Cap One, but does not support GE cards.
I enter each of my due dates in my iphone with 2 reminders for each due date (one 2 days prior to the due date and one on the due date itself). My pay goes in the bank on Wednesdays, it's available on Thursday mornings, and I pay immediately every bill due prior to the following Thursday. The rest goes to savings.

Very cool. I use Mint.com myself to keep track of balances, due dates, etc. and auto pay minimum balance (in case I forget to PIF before due date), but any chance you can host a blank copy of that on Google Drive or something so I can play with it?
I get paid 2X a month 6th and 21st. I keep balances in my checking account but to keep the balances fairly level I know the check on the 21st has to pay my rent, car payment and student loan so I've tried to set all my payment due dates up so they hit around the 12th. That way once I am paid on the 6th I go in and pay them all with a few days to spare.
