Your least favorite bill/bills to pay every month

I just paid $943.82 for my credit card this week. But it is not always that high usually.

I hate the first of the month when rent is due and whoosh, there goes $700.
 
Car. It's expensive, but also not as expensive as other friends' payments. It's the biggest unshared (with my fiancee) bill I pay.
 
Rent and Visa.

Hate them both with an undying passion, more so Visa, because the interest is almost as much as I put in ffs.

It's how they get you, really. They have absolutely zero desire to see you actually clear your balance; that doesn't earn them any money. It's an endless treadmill, with very scant consumer protection rights in most nations.
 
Yep, it pisses me off to even pay it. I would rather just leave it and hope to win enough money to pay it off.

I don't owe an impossible amount, I owe $8000, but it will never go away, ever. I always pay it, and then it goes back to where it was. Lame.
 
Ever considered a debt consolidation loan? The (credible, certified ones) loans are generally at drastically lower, fixed rates than credit cards themselves. Thing is, over the last few years, at least here they've been harder to qualify for with the reduced liquidity from the 2008 credit, housing, and financial market collapse. My fiancee has about five grand in unsecured CC debt, and she's considering going that route for the same reason; the interest on the credit card itself is highway robbery.
 
School loans....the interest effectively shoots the balance back up to its original balance. Now I'm doubling my monthly payment in hopes it will go down some and eventually get it off my back.
 
Phone bill, due to the fact that I barely use the damn thing, but I need it for "emergency" purposes due to my diabetes.
 
Rent... it's the biggest one by far... then car/renter's insurance... then electric bill (but only in the summer when it's over $200)

Recently, student loan debt in America officially eclipsed credit cards in % and amount of private debt. The scarier part is that unlike unsecured credit card debt, there are ZERO consumer protections to borrowers.
 
Back when I was working at a part time job, the f!cking car insurance bill. Made my minimum wage look like shit
 
verizon Fios cable, internet, phone, plus hbo go, and all of the other channels = 202 (miss a few payments here, short change them there and you get $462) lol
