Not Having To Remember When To Pay The Bills
I have so many different bills I was having a hard time keeping track of all of the due dates. I was always worried I was going to forget to pay something and have to pay a late fee or get my credit dinged, so I finally decided that I would set up automated payments through the online banking services offered by my bank. I have automated payments set up for all the regular bills, including the minimums for my credit cards. Then, if I have plenty of money left over I will make another payment to pay off a bit more on my cards at the end of the month.
