What bills do I have to pay? What bills will I pay?

Updated 2020 04 02

What bills should I pay?  Which bills should I delay?

You may be wondering this especially given the need to protect your family and to support your community and your nation.  Here is are the two lists: Bills to Pay and Bills to Delay

Number one is taking care of the food needs for your children, your family, those dependent upon you.  Number two is supporting those who need your payment so they can buy food. 

BILLS TO PAY
  1. Food - until a plan is implemented to provide for cashless "payment"
  2. Support - so children and former spouses can pay for food
  3. Care homes - so they can buy food for your loved ones
  4. Trash removal
  5. Medicine - life prolonging
  6. Energy - gasoline, propane, natural gas, coal
  7. Association Fees - to pay for labor and fuel, ex. movement of snow, trash, roofing, etc.
  8. Direct Services - labor - anyone whose source of money comes directly from you and could be settled in cash, ex. doctor, dentist, plumber, electrician, repair, shopper, cleaner, entertainer, lessons, delivery, etc
  9. Goods - non-food items, until a different plan is implemented
You should be paying for these via credit rather than using savings, to help ensure that you have enough funds to continue providing for your needs, and your family needs, for a long time.

You should NOT be paying the following.  In fact, many leaders throughout the world are encouraging no one to pay these, in other words no more mortgage or rent or corporate payments.  The one caveat is if there is if you have heard that someone has been "cut off" for non-payment, then you'll need to address that, for example: water, electricity, phone, Internet, etc.

BILLS TO NOT PAY (or to DELAY)

So, do not pay (or at least delay):
  1. Debts to corporations or federal governments or agencies - ex. mortgages, car loans, car loans, credit card bills, etc
  2. Bills and taxes to state and local governments
  3. Insurances - ex. health, auto, life, home, apartment, dental, vision, etc
  4. Retirement Investments (speculation)
  5. Rents to Individuals
  6. Data already being received - incoming satellite etc.
  7. Data being transmitted - phone
With this in mind, you should first cancel any and all subscriptions that are not needed or wanted, considering carefully the impact of doing so on local businesses and the owners’ means (ask if you are uncertain).

Also, you should delay all payments for as long as possible, in particular, any that are not critical to ensuring your basic needs, both in the short term, and in the longer term.

You should pay for everything with credit until you have no remaining credit; then use savings.

All this said, you will first use your own critical thinking skills to evaluate this for accurateness

What is missing from the list?  Let me know, and I’ll consider it

* Significant update after chat with Steve Keen and considering the best placement of several of these.  Also changes the predictive word "will" to "should" in most instances.  Other options were "ought to", "may", "might consider", "others are", etc.

How to read: 1. skim 2. skim again, slower 3. skim yet again, slower still and then click on a few that are interesting, and read or watch 4. skim once again, and read a few more 5. share this post, if you haven't already 6. please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. This compilation of relevant and interesting news took me over four hours to put together, from 6:30 until 11:30 EDT :-) What I need is just that good truthful information and hope be shared. So, if you would #1 share this to "public" and to all of your groups; #2 react to it (not like) and #3 ask a question in the comments; that would be a gift :-) -- Aaron Wayne Wissner NEWS 2020 04 04 April 4 Saturday (posted on April 5 Sunday at 11:30 a.m. EDT) Prof Steve Keen is creating realistic economics for the post-crash world | Patreon  -- new post about exponential growth This Is Where The World Is On The "Corona Curve" At This Moment | Zero Hedge  -- interesting, but i...

Reflection on Michael Moore / Jeff Gibb's Earth Day 2020 film - The Plant of the Humans - and how it relates to the compassionate, altruistic, love based, "world savers" among us.  (I'm BCCing this to a few other folks as well :-)  If you haven't seen it, I imagine you will, or should, and then this reflection would make greater sense; the link is at the bottom in Jeff's email to me (and other BCCs).  -- Aaron 2020-05-04 updated -- Added reflection following a rebuttal by well known speaker in environmentalism (see below the letter). ******* Hi Jeff, I just finished watching your film, "The Planet of the Humans" at 2x speed, which is how I watch everything now-a-days due to so much information I'm trying to take in and make sense of each day.  I appreciate that you finally published it. I recall back in 2010 or 2011 or so, we were chatting about northern Michigan and the Local Future conferences, and if I notice correctly from the ...

There is no Fault, We're in this Together

You are here, now. No matter where you are, no matter what you might sense... hear, see, smell, feel, taste... you are here, now, at this moment. And, more likely than not, you are a part of civilization. Why are you here? You are here because of a series of events, from the beginning of time until now, or at least, so it seems.  You were inevitable.  Now, your history is something different.  It is not the reason you are here, rather, it is the story of how you got here.  For example, at some point, your biological mother became pregnant, and this is often considered the beginning of the story.  But, you are not just any human, you are you, and what made you who you are is really two parts: the contents of that single sperm and single ova, and after they combined, everything that surrounded you, and how you responded and were changed by it. And, now you are here, reading, or maybe listening, to this.  And I, of course, the result of a ...
