World Vision does this for me.Chitownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524244500611541609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25077250.post-36213068535121701622007-12-12T08:42:00.000-06:002007-12-12T08:42:00.000-06:00Good idea anonymous.

The only thing I have to worry about is when there is an escrow adjustment and the payment amount is incorrect. I'm pretty sure they will reject the payment amount at that point and then my payment might be late. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!!!Chitownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524244500611541609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25077250.post-78875811404069758232007-12-11T19:04:00.000-06:002007-12-11T19:04:00.000-06:00While I agree with your execution, I would recomme...While I agree with your execution, I would recommend centralizing your billpay through your bank. <BR/><BR/>It makes it easier to "see" what bills are going to be paid on what day.

(Which I would suggest doing for your own mortgage payment, actually, because wouldn't you then have until the 15th to pay it without a late fee instead of only the 6th?)<BR/><BR/>And my 403(b), Roth IRA, ING, and now Ameritrade accounts are all set up to transfer money from my checking account regularly, either once a month or every other week when I get paid. I also automated my Netflix payment and gym membership.<BR/><BR/>In 2008 I'd like to automate a charitable contribution of some sort, too, instead of just giving money haphazardly.Escape Brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619558338660997233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25077250.post-76937732476778647492007-12-11T09:42:00.000-06:002007-12-11T09:42:00.000-06:00I have to admit that I love automating my bills! ...I have to admit that I love automating my bills! I'm too lazy to remember to pay my bills on time! <BR/><BR/>I have my retirement contributions (401k and Roth IRA) automatic, but I move my cash savings myself. I think the move makes me feel a little bit of good, so I hope that it makes me want to save more!SavingDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267021491907810696noreply@blogger.com
