I pay everything over the internet. Been doing that for years. If I'm going to be on the road over the weekend, I'll jump on my lap top.

Internet, just about everything is online bill pay. If you have an iPhone/Droid or the like, there are apps that organize all your bill pay websites, account numbers and passwords, etc. That is, if you dont mind having all that stuff in one place.

However, to rebuttle that too, there is yet another app for smartphones, that you sync with your computer, and it allows you to remotely wipe your phone from your laptop as long as both have an internet connection. Pretty handy considering the worst.

I paid mine online for a long time, I recently went to the auto bill pay with my bank. It just gets everything all in one place instead of having to keep up with all the different web sites. I'm single too so know what it is like. Hope this helps,

Auto bill pay via your bank. Most banks should also let you receive your bills from whomever via e-billing (the creditor, etc, sends an electronic bill to the bank, the bank notifies you, and you tell them how much to pay).

I don't even think about most of my bills anymore. I just make sure I have "x" amount in my checking every month, auto-pay does the rest. If there's any difference in the "cushion" balance in the checking account, I know something's screwy, and I check it out. I only have 2 credit cards, and keep very low balances on them, so a simple check of my online statement once a month makes sure everything is in line there.

Keep track of your bank!
News today was about ATMS & ATM fees and even charges for payments over X dollars at a store and swipe charges!

So do not be surprised when they start or increase the costs to do online banking when it really doesn't cost them anywhere close to having a teller handle paper! They are not making money and are looking at ways to make it all as fast as they can!

Free banking is a thing of the past so beware of your account balances as those bouncing check charges aren't cheap or will they stay at these rates for long! The same with all the other charges they will keep starting!

Pretty soon just signing on to your account is going to cost you!

If I was single with no home I'd cut as many of these bills you have just to save a few dollars for things you really need! Pay cash when you can but only make one withdrawal as well those costs will eat you alive! $5 to use an ATM is crazy money but those $200 Million that Chase for 1 paid for their system of machines is just plain crazy! they think they'll get the whole thing paid for in a year and even the operating cost along with it! As I said they want it all and NOW! ATMs are here to stay so quit trying so hard as it will pretty soon all be in your hands!
