Recently we had to pay for our health and prescription insurances and will be reimbursed by DH's former employers so we had to begin paying the monthly charges by direct withdrawal from our checking account and will recieve the reimbursements by direct deposit. This morning I heard the Post Office wants to raise first class postage stamps to 50 cents. I think that will be the biggest incentive for me to begin paying all my bills online. What about you?

I have most of my retular monthly charges like electric, mortgage, car insurrance etc. automatically deducted from my checking account. My charge card I go on line to pay. I pay very little by check. It's easy to keep track of everything on the computer. I go online and look at my account information very frequently. I also have my bank notify me by e-mail when my balance is at a certain level. This way I am able to be busy and not worry that I have forgotten to pay a bill on time.
