<prompt> Human: I was doing some online research and found that many people hold the belief that auto-pay is a bad idea. Im not completely going on auto-pilot: I get a notice a week before letting me know the payment is due, and I check my account to make sure there are no inaccurate charges. I mainly like auto-pay because Im forgetful and dont trust myself to never miss a payment.Is this a bad idea? Do you auto-pay your credit card?  <response>: If you use credit cards responsibly not spending money you dont have then theres no general rule against auto-pay. If youre living paycheck to paycheck and you arent confident that youll have the money in your account then perhaps you should make manual payments.I dont see anything wrong with your method except that things can change and be forgotten over the course of a week.EDIT: All of my cards are on autopay. Its a big relief.
