Need advice about touring..

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, I'm wondering about the logistics of touring...specifically, how do you manage your money. How do you manage keeping an apartment at home.

I can't figure out how to a: obtain my regular monthly check that is mailed to my home, pay for rent, utilities, while on the road.

What are the best ways to take care of business at home while your away..??? thanks.

You arrange for any checks to be auto-deposited directly into your account if at all possible.

Get a post office box and have all your mail forwarded there, not to your apartment or house. Have a local family member or trusted friend check it periodically for you. Also have someone remove any newspapers or mailings frequently from the front of your home so it doesn't look to thieves like you are out of town.

Set up autopay for your bills, or arrange so that you can pay them online using a computer. Keep a list handy so that you know the due-dates. If you don't have a travel laptop, you can always find computers to access or even rent by the minute at a Kinko's or online coffee shop.
