I know Tasks can do this (to a point), but it isn't exactly the easiest to use, and does not seem to use alternating schedules too well. I looked at SPB Finance, but it handles so much, I think it is over-kill. I don't want to enter an original amount and have it subtracted with every transaction, I only want a log of bill reminders.
I know I may get flamed for not wanting to use tasks, but I was wondering if there was an easy, light app like that out there!!

While not a Today plug-in or a financial app, I am using a .csv (comma separated values) file within the calendar program that seems to do exactly what you're looking for. The file I'm using contains the season schedule for the Tampa Bay Lightning (yes, I'm a hockey geek as well as a PPC geek). The file plots all the upcoming games for the season on the calendar, integrates seamlessly with SPB mobile shell to show games for the upcoming week on their "Now" screen, and sounds a reminder 15 min prior to the start of each game. I don't see why this wouldn't work for upcoming payments just as easily.
I have never created a .csv file, but a quick Google search turned up a lot of info on them. If you want to test the format, you can download the file here:
