When you forget to pay your credit card bill
– moneysense.ca
So a funny thing happened a little while back, I forgot to pay my credit card bill. It’s only funny because I’m constantly preaching about how we need to pay our credit card bills on time and in full, yet somehow I forgot. Okay, some people call it irony, but ignoring your bills is really no laughing matter.
It was pretty obvious to me that something was wrong when I checked my most recent statement and it was showing interest charges. I thought maybe I had inputted the wrong amount when I did my online banking last, but it turns out I didn’t pay anything at all. Even though I didn’t make the minimum payment, I wasn’t too worried; here’s why.
What to do if you forget to pay your credit card bill

From the start, Riley “liked to stretch boundaries and see how far he could push things,” says his father. “He was always on the go.” Once he was found balancing on his belly on the top rail of his crib, like a bodysurfer. Another time he got his head stuck between its rails, and Sandra had to call a friend to pry the bars apart to release him.
Riley had a strong connection to his grandparents, especially his grandfather Ivin, who had a 100-acre farm near Seaforth, Ont., with a small dairy herd and chickens. When he was about 13, after years of just pretending, Ivin finally let Riley drive an old tractor up and down the farm lane. He could not have been happier. Riley often visited his Italian grandmother, “Nona,” as well. He’d show her his new haircuts, or mow her lawn, and feast on pasta afterwards…
