I pay it all on line. I also keep all of my statements on line. Each month I get an email telling me my bill is ready to view. I dont' have things going thru the mail for people to steal and I don't have to worry about the mail losing my payments. I can preschedule a payment to go along with my paycheck so that I don't have to worry about forgetting or if I'm on vacation. I like being able to check each bill to make sure all is well and to check my bank to make sure all as cleared. I also use debit instead of credit when I can; debit means it comes out of your account right then and credit can take a few days to clear. Paying it all online makes my life so much easier.

If you paid the bills online and didn't have to buy stamps, think how much more money you would have for fabric!!

Some I pay on their direct website, the ones that do not have sites I have the bank send out a check.

I have been paying my bills online for years, as soon as it was available at my credit union. It is so much easier and since my credit union guarantees delivery I know they have been paid. I also do a lot of direct drafts for our mortgage payment, insurance, utilities, cable, etc. I have it set up in my Quicken program to automatically deduct the payment in my register on the day it is due so that when it is paid from my bank account it is also recorded in my register in my Quicken program. I also back up this information to a flash drive every few days.

I pay bills via bill pay at my local credit union. I have been doing this for 10 years. It is so easy. I foresee the post office fading away. Other companies can deliver packages more efficiently and quicker than them.

Totally online - utility bills on autopay, they take straight out of checking acct. I use paypal for most online purchases. Can also tell bank who, when and how much to pay and they do everything. Haven't had paper check book in years.

I have paid every bill possible online for many years and love the convenience. Only a few are automatic payments, and for the rest, when the bill arrives I go to the computer and set up the payment for the date I want and write on the bill when it's to be paid, how much and the confirmation number. It's ready to file immediately. Some arrive by email, and are handled similarly. I feel, if anything, more in control than I did when I was relying on mail service, and it saves gas, stamps and trees, not to mention my most precious commodity: time. I have managed our family finances since I got married 40 years ago, and would say that the Internet makes it ever so much easier than it used to be. I love being able to verify balances and payments whenever I feel like it.

DH pays the household bills. He makes the money so he needs to see where it goes and besides I don't want to do it. He pays all accounts six months at a time. We always have a credit on our cards, utilities and insurance. That makes it so easy. When the credit gets low he pay it up again. It actually saves us a lot of money paying bills this way and so much less headache every month. If something happens to one of us, no bill paying worries for a few months. A few years ago he bought a laptop, went to the bank and left knowing everything he needed to know how to do it and do it safely. We still have to have written checks though. My guild and his hunting club takes cash or checks only. LOL.

As long as a postal carrier comes to mail box, 50 cents is O.K. with us. We paid the bills the day they come in, and say a
thank you prayer that we are fortunate enough to be able to. When we made 70 yrs & older and are able to stay in our
own home, with fairly good health, we have a lot to be greatfull for. They tell me after we are 80 yrs or more, the postal
service will bring the mail to the door. For us there is nothing like seeing the amount of money you have in the check book
and know how much you can spend, at any given time.
