For the second time ever in my household's history, I paid the mortgage late. Two days late, so hoping for no penalty. I thought I paid it on Saturday online, then I got distracted with about six open tabs on my browser, and it timed out.
I suspect my brain needs more training on how to focus on more than a handful of numbers going down at a time.
My next challenge is to live on $50 a day for twelve days.
Unusually lax or distracted about finances

Does your bank's system let you create a payment dated for one business day in advance of due date? That may help you avoid tiny errors. I know some vendors have nasty fees and even increase interest rates if you pay on a Saturday or Sunday.

I don't know if it's connected but the more I go outside and find other things to do and lighten up on my weight and outlook, the less I care about my finances as of late. I know normal people can manage both things well.

FYI, thank you for coming to my open house! We shoulda done a couple of pushups together - you know I have the space and we could have inspected the carpet tile a little more closely. !
