@MaverDaver The only thing we have on autopay is our Medicare Supplement insurance.  I'm not crazy about it for the reason you stated but really didn't have a choice in the matter.  (Or so we were told.)

I use my phone for everything just about. I don't do Apple Pay or the wallet.  If you aren't going to use your iPhone for the majority of what it can do, why have it? Then you could just have a basic flip phone or whatever they have these days.

???   Well, first, not everyone has (or wants) an iphone.

 

People use their phones in the way they wish, not because some manufacturer came up with a bunch of new ways and then expects everyone stop doing what they like and to suddenly march to their drum ... you get the idea.  

 

I have a 15 inch laptop for all my banking and financial activity.  It never leaves my home.  I don't need to put redundant apps and whatnot on my phone.  It's just not necessary.

 

Of course, if you don't have an actual computer or pad, I guess you have to use the phone for everything in addition to calls and texts.

 

Another thing to keep in mind .... phones are MUCH easier to steal.  Happens every day, all the time.  No thank you.
