I love your interesting analogy. It may sound like I'm blaming automatic bill pay and automatic draft technologies a little bit. To save debate, I don't dislike the services (maybe this post should have gotten a different title) and don't mean to blame them. I agree it's the knolwedge of the bills and process that brought me awareness and I appreciate you for pointing that out in your comments. I guess if the choice is to use these services, it's important to keep a watchful eye on your statements. DrTab, thanks so much for your comments. I love your interesting analogy.

What "saved" your hassle and wrongful use of funds was your knowledge of your bills and the process that brought you that awareness...not your mule. It's not the click of the mouse or the stroke of a pen that provides you clarity into your finances. The time and insight you gain into your finances with the mouse far exceeds the confidence that one gains with the more manageable mule. Electronic Payment is tractor and the pen is the mule....I guess it all depends how big of a field you are standing in front of that will dictate your tool. mouse vs mule Seems to me that the farmer is blaming the tool, the weather and/or the mule for the result of his intended crop.
