If you are like most people, you have a lot of bills with a lot of different due dates. Rent and mortgage payments are usually due on the first of the month. Credit card companies each set their own due dates for your credit cards. If you find yourself in a cash flow squeeze because your credit card bills are due before your second paycheck, you can eliminate the problem by changing your credit card due dates.

Most credit cards will let you change your due date to a more convenient date. Call your credit card company’s customer service line and ask to speak with a representative. When all your credit cards are due on the same day, it will also be easier to keep track of your monthly expenses.
