I apologize for the slow week of posting here at SingleGuyMoney. It's been another crazy work week and I plan to take it easy and relax this weekend. It's going to be a beautiful weekend here in Atlanta with highs in the 70s and lots of sunshine.

Here are a couple of important reminders for you:

VOTE. No matter who your choice for President is, make sure your voice is heard. On Tuesday November 4th, make sure you go to the polls and cast your vote. I was able to take advantage of early voting and cast my vote on Thursday. I only had to stand in line for a little less than three hours but I can relax now that it is done.

Time Change. Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour tonight when you go to bed. Enjoy the extra hour of sleep on Monday morning.

Contest. Don't forget to enter the contest to win the book, "You're Broke Because You Want To Be". Details are in this post.

I've been looking for a better way to remember when my monthly bills are due. I don't like having anything automatically deducted from my checking account and would rather keep track of when the bills are due and then pay via billpay or pay directly at the billers website. I carry a calendar to remember various appointments or meetings and I also use it to keep track of bill due dates. Using this method has a couple of drawbacks. Due to lack of space, I am not able write down notes about the bill like the amount due, account to be paid from, bill website or any other important notes. Unfortunately, if I forget to take my calendar with me, I do not have the due dates readily available.

I was contacted by the publisher of a program by the name of The Bill Manager. This is a free program that allows you to keep track of your monthly bills. I've used the program for about a week and I'm very happy with it.

Program Benefits:

• No cost. There is no fee to use this program. Nothing beats free!
• Easy to Use. Even, if you are not internet savvy, the program is still very easy to use. If you can point and click, you can use this program.
• Anywhere Access. If you have access to the internet, you have access to the bill manager. Go out of town? You can still access your account.
• Payment Reminders. You can get an email reminder to make sure you never miss a due date.
• Expense Manager. Manage your budget with the amount of your monthly bills conveniently calculated for you.
• Weekly Articles. Each week, there are a number of helpful personal finance articles via the main website or by RSS feed.

Head on over to The Bill Manager to check it out. Please note, this is not a paid review. I'm actually using the program and find it really helpful.

For those of us that need to pay estimated tax payments, the next installment is coming due this week. The due date is September 15th but since that falls on a Saturday, the due date is the next business day of Monday September 17th. I went ahead and scheduled my payment online using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System or EFTPS Online. I've scheduled a $750 payment (from my checking account) for this quarter and will pay $750 for the next quarter on January 15, 2008. I have been getting several inserts in my credit card bill telling me I can use my credit card to pay my estimated taxes for a small fee...no thanks, I'll use my checking account for free.

Are you also making a estimated tax payment? If so, SingleGuyMoney wants to know how much you are paying. Sorry, people always tell me I am too nosey.
