There are many methods to handle bill paying while on the road.  You may have someone (relative, accountant, etc.) keep track of and pay your bills for you.  However, most people probably choose one of several other methods because they like to be “in control” of their personal business.  If you are traveling, it is difficult to arrange for your mail to keep up with you in time for receiving the bill and then paying it before it is delinquent.  Therefore, most people keep track of their bills and the payment of them either by phone or via the internet.  If you know the “due date” on all your bills, it is easy enough to call for the payment, and then simply mail it in.  You can also track almost all your bills “online” and even have email notification of bills due and payment information sent to you via email.

Most banking institutions now offer an “online” bill payment service with their checking accounts.  This is probably the “preferred” method as you can arrange payments months in advance and the payments are made without the need for your constant attention.

You may elect to have a credit card make automated payments for many of your bills and then you make just one monthly payment to your credit card company.  As you can see there are several different methods to ensure your bills are paid on time, it just a matter of determining which method fits you best.
