Yeah, that makes total sense. For me, the extra mental of thinking about when to charge something and when to pay it off just isn't worth $60/yr.

Counter-factually: If autopay didn't exist, I would gladly pay $5/mo to have all my bills paid automatically.

I’m in the same boat.

I’d love to care about $60/year, but I waste more money on under-utilized subscriptions. Not saying it’s an either-or, but if I can work to earn $60 more, I’d probably rather do that than save $60. :-)
