to me, it's more about saving the stamp, you gotta pay it anyways!
$45/mo to the gas company in the summer, the stamp is 1% of that !
Most of these recurring bills can be paid on a "one time basis" by telephone, w/o signing up for automatic debits, and no mailed paper bills.
Car insurance is much more costly monthly, pay that one upfront.

You don't know if the mail gets delivered on time, 99% + of the time, it will get there. Phone pay works great for me....2 minutes once you're used to the procedure for the particular water,gas,elec. co., etc.
Screw this shit, I let the Connecticut water company, Southern Connecticut gas company, Connecticut light and power, Sprint, Comcast, etc ....send me a paper bill, I review it, then pay by phone ( most often), if I don't dispute the bill, no auto pay BS....just bill me, I'll pay whatever you say....doesn't work for me.
Mail me a bill the traditional way, I'll phone in payment ...if I agree. Two minutes average ( per bill) on the phone, while I surf the net.
Works for Doug !
That's my way, for now !

Steve: Saving The Fucking stamp isn't the major part of it, but a "bonus"
Say, I have to pay SCG ( Southern ct gas co) $45.
I can write them a check , drive it to the PO ( 1.5 miles away), so 3 truck miles at 40 cents a mile ( fair rate ?), take a quarter hour doing that ( $10 , at least $5 ?), or have it paid in minimal time to make a call, ( 2% of an hour), not drive the truck, no postage.
I'll just phone that one in.... no brainer !
Well I used to live in the safest large city in America (5 years running) so if it didn't help me it was worth it since they were doing something right. Every time I encountered them they treated me with respect, not like the hick town in the midwest that I used to live in.
My health insurance didn't do automatic withdrawal, only check. All my other bills are paid by automatic deduction.
