They can cause a panic, especially when just one bill is into the four figures, like our property taxes or auto insurance! Years ago, April sent me into a panic and a scramble to find the funds. Every month going forward, transfer this money into a separate savings account that is connected to your checking account.

Does your property tax bill give you anxiety? Our homeowners insurance and property taxes are not tied in with our mortgage so we receive those bills and are responsible for paying them instead of the bank that owns the mortgage. How were we going to find the funds by the due date? That used to be me.

Save money in a bank account (or perhaps a company retirement plan). We have to pay for maintenance and property taxes and the interest on the loan. These costs are are only partially offset by the fact that, in the United States, I get a tax deduction for some of them. Get a good job.

Now I wish those dollars had gone into our savings accounts. That’s not right. Spreadsheets are my friends.
