    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. 😋

      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?

            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
