              Keep these amounts and dates in mind, and try to strategically balance
              your budget to avoid having to pay any late fees. If this requires short
              term sacrifices, remember that your finances will grow more and more
              powerful  as  you  eliminate  late  fees  and  interest  payments  from  the
              amount you are paying each month moving into the future.
                 There is one final, very important consideration to take into account
              when prioritizing which bills to pay first. This is a factor that can work
              powerfully for you or against you if you use it properly.


              KNOW WHO IS REPORTING TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS

              your most pressing debts fast, knowing which, if any of your creditors
              will not negatively impact your credit score can be very powerful.
                 The  best  way  to  know  which  bills  are  or  are  not  harming  your
              credit score is to check your credit report. Your credit report will show
              exactly  which  creditors  have  reported  you  as  late-paying  or  non-
              paying,  harming  your  credit  track  record.  Some  creditors  will  report
              you  quickly  and  aggressively,  even  if  you  only  owe  them  a  tiny
