Should you automate your bill payments?
Rent, light, water, phone bill, cable, internet… It can be overwhelming when you think about all the bills you pay monthly! That’s where automation comes in. It saves you time and hassle, and you have peace of mind knowing that your bills are taken care of and you won’t get hit with any late fees.
But here’s where it really helps with budgeting. Automating your bills means your monthly expenses are consistent and predictable. Once you know exactly when your bills are paid and how much is going out, you can easily see how your expenses each month will play out. You’ll be able to track your spending more easily and make sure you’re not overspending in other areas.
Sometimes utility bills fluctuate, but most people have an idea of how much they usually spend each month. That’s why we’re so surprised when a big bill comes our way! (JPS) So take the time to automate those bills and take an extra worry off your plate.
