Paying the Bills
« on: September 11, 2011, 08:37:15 PM »
It is Sunday.  Time to "pay the bills" according to the wife.  I get up, carefully open each bill then throw everything away.  Seriously what a tedious process.  Is there anyone on here that stuffs envelopes besides Jeffy?

I pay them.  This is not a thread about delinquency.

I have not had a checkbook since 1997.    I write approximately 5 checks a year, and print those on my computer using Versacheck.

most utilities/cc's/etc. offer direct withdrawal, but I some weird aversion to anybody having access to take money from my bank account beside myself and mrs. raquetcat, I still pay the bills online, but it sucks to have to sit down and press the "pay" button once a month

i'm aware of the credit card thread.  just don't see the point in using a card to pay bills, and then paying on the card, when you could just pay the bills and be done with it.  making things too complicated, fellas.
