Thanks Dustin You hit this one right on the head, I used to always do the auto bill pay and auto renewals but since then I learned the lesson the hard way, cause it would always be renewing domains I no longer needed and hosting which was no longer necessary.

Thanks

Dustin

I hate automatic bills and credit cards are EVIL! I decided that I wouldn't buy anything I don't need but I had to drive to work every day and decided I couldn't put off having a phone so I shopped around first. I thought prepaid phones might be funky but did some shopping and found out that I could still get a good, no-frills phone for around 20-30 dollars and didn't have to sign a contract or even have a credit card or credit check. It turned out that I got a phone from net10 and I'm VERY happy with it and can really control my costs. I don't give the number out to everyone and that helps too, But the peace of mind I get (and my husband, too) is worth it... and saving money! I’m with you.

I am scared that I will get too comfortable and stop checking the bills for errors. I use billpay to pay my bills but I don’t set them up automatically.
