At a certain point, adding "One More" Account/Credential (login) to maintain and monitor begins to be "more burden" than the assumed benefit. Then there is the growing number of Mobile Apps (if that is the device used).


Here are some examples:

A) Non-recurring bills that happen throughout the year - Doctors/Labs/Medical visits (remainder after insurance pays)
B) Yearly Recurring Payments - Home Insurance, Property Tax, other insurance premium
C) One-Off Payments In Person - Home Maintenance such as a New Air Conditioner Installed
D) "Maybe Payments" Quarterly or Yearly - Income Tax
E) Other situations you might have encountered
A)Medical bills paid with spending account visa
B)use points credit card and pay off next month
C)we use a check under $300
D)direct deposit into account
E)credit card for points,nothing better than free vacations
