6. Your utility bills
At the beginning of this article, I told you that it’s not a genius idea to set bills that fluctuate every month on autopay because you risk losing track of them. For instance, your electricity, water, and gas bills are more likely to fluctuate every other month, so it might be best to take care of the payment yourself.
Experts say that you can simply log in to your account every month of the year to see the bill for yourself and then correct any errors before making the payment.
For instance, you might notice a huge increase in your water bill and have no idea why. Well, if you pay close attention to your account, you’re probably going to discover the root cause of this inconvenience, which might be due to a running toilet or a leaky spout. This is only an example, but paying attention to these details will help you correct any mistakes along the way.
Besides that, if you keep track of your bills and expenses, you’re more likely to make some changes and actually find ways to save money.

Actually, I find it more advantageous to keep all of my accounts off autopsy. It makes my life more carefree.
I have nothing on auto pay after someone used my account for nearly $1000, after speaking to my bank as to how to assure this would never happen again, first thing they said was did I have anything set up for auto pay (we had 2) they said cancel it, even if I knew who I set the account up with did I realize how other eyes see my information, cancelled them both that day.
