Money tip: 5 bills you should never put on autopay

Money tip: 5 bills you should never put on autopay

Autopay makes it easy to keep up with subscriptions and services. The problem with these out-of-sight, out-of-mind payments is you can lose track and keep paying for something you no longer use. It might be better for some accounts to make one-time payments. We put together a list of bills you should never put on autopay.

Quick tip of the day

By now, you have probably had lots of computers, smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets. When you upgrade, the older one just sits around. Why not make some extra money?

Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace aren’t the best places to turn to with all the scams and false advertisements going around. And who wants to haggle with someone over the price or find a place to meet?

A safer, more reliable option is Decluttr. They purchase from you directly, so you don’t need to create a listing, write a description, or negotiate. You don’t need to include the original box, charger, or accessories, either. Who has those anyway?

Tap or click here to get started with Decluttr.
