Manilla - organize your household accounts!

I pay bills every two weeks. As bills come in, I put them in a specific mail holder in the kitchen. When it's time to pay bills, I sit down and make a spreadsheet of all of our income for the two weeks, all of our current and projected expenses, and all of the money we want to save for various goals. Then it's a matter of setting priorities to make sure that everything balances out!

This system works for me, but maybe you're looking for a way to organize your accounts and bill paying. You might like to give Manilla a try.

Manilla is a free web based service that helps consumers better manage all of their household accounts, including financial, utilities, subscriptions and travel rewards programs, in one secure place online. Under a single password, Manilla provides customers with an automated, organized view of all of their account information, text and/or email reminders to pay bills and unlimited storage of account documents that Manilla has seamlessly retrieved for the consumer.

Why is Manilla necessary? Most people have more than 20 different household accounts, including three to four credit cards, several travel and hotel rewards accounts, multiple magazine and newspaper subscriptions, plus cable, phone, and other assorted utility bills. In order to stay on top of all this, people have to manage daily incoming paper mail, an array of online usernames and passwords, and websites in order to access important account information and take action. Manilla seamlessly retrieves all your account information – current balances, previous payments, upcoming bills due – and stores it for you in one secure place. Most importantly, you need only one password to view, manage and organize it all.

Give Manilla a try!
