Fake Calendars showing the month of December with contrasting perception of time. One is labelled "for children", and contains normal days until the 22nd, and then fractionall days start appearing, progressing until the 24th, which appears as 24.1, 24.2, 24.3, 24.5, 24.6, 24.7, 24.8, 24.9, 24.925, 24.95, 24.975, 25, and then 31. The calendar labelled December (for Adults) simply has 1, 25, and 31.

The 1st because that is when bills are due. Everything else is a blur.

    More like the 26th here, that's when almost every company executes their direct debit. Manually paying bills is, with a rare exception, not a thing here anymore.

    The 1st is the date I think off when I finally remember to turn over the birthday calendar around the 20th and have to decide whether or not I'm going to skip to the next month. 😋

    I can relate. I either refuse to do autopay with most bills (Geico can suck it) or, in the case of my ISP bill, I pay it manually before the autopay comes out to save $15 in fees.

    You'd be hard pressed to find a company that still allows/accepts manual payment here, for recurring payments it's basically mandatory to use direct debit. At the other hand, manually paying wouldn't save on any fees.

    Are those 15 bucks a banking fee?

    No, the company charges $15 more if you don't do auto pay. They market it as a discount for doing autopay.

    Maybe they are trying to nudge you in the right direction.

    Sounds like a pain in the ass to manually pay bills. It's all auto pulled from my account. I just have to make sure the account has a lot of money on it.

    I am also not doing any income taxes these last few years because I just accept whatever they calculated and kept.

    Could not be bothered
