Online is the way to go these days! I literally found ways to pay everything…Major banks all have bill pay feature now and I just figured out how to pay my mortgage through Chargesmart.com and my taxes through Officialpayments.com

I used to pay everything late until I discovered online billing.

Everything I can pay for automatically is done so. Everything else is via the bank’s online bill pay.

I pay some bills online, and some with a check. For some I don’t want them to have direct access to my bank accounts in case there is a dispute, or something along those lines. I’ve heard horror stories of credit card companies just withdrawing money from people’s accounts, and then saying the people authorized it. Scary stuff I want to avoid.

We try to pay most of our bills (90%) on line but there are a couple things we write prefer to use a paper check for like tithes for church.

We even pay our rent with automatic bill pay online. We just set it up to go out the last day of the month, and the landlord usually has it in a day or two (we’ve ok’d it with them that they won’t have it exactly on the 1st each month).

Until this past Saturday, I had never written a cheque. Ever. I had to write a cheque to my condo corporation for use of the service elevator. It was my first time. I had to call my Mom to find out how to fill it out.

Online 100% … its the only way to go for me!
Nothing beats the smug satisfaction of having virtually everything on automatic payment.

I try to avoid paper checks, but for some bills that is my only option. My preference is an autopayment plan, followed by manual online payments, followed by paper checks that must be mailed in.
