If you pay bills, then you know when bills are due

USAism because you're still using checks and other old money tech.

In the modern world: My rent, insurance, electricity, heating, phone, mastercard, newspapers, etc are payed automatically every month. Whenever I get a bill, it contains a 'subscription id' which I enter in my online bank, and all following bills are then sent as an electronic invoice to my bank which then automatically performs the requred transfer of money on the due date. I don't even see those bills unless I want to spend time looking at it. I don't receive those bills in the paper mail. Everything is online.

Same with my wage. It just goes into my account after taxes are automatically payed. I don't need to do any work to pay my taxes.

Thus, I don't need to know when it's pay day unless I use too much money.

I pay one bill each month with a check, because it's actually easier (car loan from some crazy remote credit union) than using ACH. The rest are electronic, but they still need to be approved before fund transmission.
