Do you utilize the auto-pay option? I recall a Twitter debate about using auto-pay recently. I saw someone say they can’t use it. I forget their reasoning but I don’t see how you can’t use auto-pay. It’s the simplest thing ever!
At first, I didn’t use it. As I grew older and had to pay more and more bills, it became my friend. Now I have a love/hate relationship with auto-pay. It’s because I start to forget what bills are on auto-pay, and getting a new debit or credit card is hectic with it. Have you ever wondered why that bill was 2 months late? All because you got a new card and forgot to add it to your auto-pay account. SMH
A buddy I went to college with suggested that I pay more close attention to those auto-pay bills. he let me know it’s too easy to lose track of spending if you’re not careful.
Alabamians have a chance to learn about tracking spending, creating budgets, and more in this free online budgeting class.
