    Question Do you use online banking? Or pay bills online?

    This makes me somewhat nervous, but I will admit that I do pay several bills online. It's fast, convenient, and saves money on postage.

    I pay the majority of my bills on line. Most of our utilities have on site bill payment. I prefer to do this as it is quicker and no postage. It is also easier to keep track, for me that is.

    I used to just check my accounts and transfer funds etc. on line but as of two weekends ago, I set up all my bills (the ones that I can) to be paid online. I was nervous about it too but now that I have everything set up, paid a few, it is so easy, and I don't have to worry about sending the payment out a week ahead etc... I think I'm going to like it. I just write on my bill the confirmation #, date paid and file.

    Yes to both questions. Still have to pay a few the old fashioned way as a couple of our utilities do not have online payments yet.

    I pay them online through our credit union. Costs $4.95 a month. I am thinking of cancelling the service now that we've paid everything off. We just have a few bills to pay (cable, phone etc..) now so I'm thinking of going back to writing checks. I just can't justify the $4.95 now without our gazillion credit card accounts.

    Yes, I pay all the ones that don't charge an extra fee for it on-line.It is so much easier and saves on postage and checks.

    I don't mail any. I either have them auto deducted from our account or pay online.

    I have online banking. Not only does it save on envelopes, postage, it also saves on late fees.

    I pay the majority of my bills online as well. I save a stamp and time writing out a check, plus time going to the PO to mail it.
