The 1st because that is when bills are due. Everything else is a blur.
More like the 26th here, that's when almost every company executes their direct debit. Manually paying bills is, with a rare exception, not a thing here anymore.
The 1st is the date I think off when I finally remember to turn over the birthday calendar around the 20th and have to decide whether or not I'm going to skip to the next month. ๐
I can relate. I either refuse to do autopay with most bills (Geico can suck it) or, in the case of my ISP bill, I pay it manually before the autopay comes out to save $15 in fees.
You'd be hard pressed to find a company that still allows/accepts manual payment here, for recurring payments it's basically mandatory to use direct debit. At the other hand, manually paying wouldn't save on any fees.
Are those 15 bucks a banking fee?
No, the company charges $15 more if you don't do auto pay. They market it as a discount for doing autopay.
Maybe they are trying to nudge you in the right direction.
Sounds like a pain in the ass to manually pay bills. It's all auto pulled from my account. I just have to make sure the account has a lot of money on it.
I am also not doing any income taxes these last few years because I just accept whatever they calculated and kept.
Could not be bothered
