Absolutely correct on automating your finances to gain financial independence. The key is to obtain residual income through various means in order to produce cash flow and pay your operating expenses (monthly expenses and debt payment). Once you have reached residual income exceeding your expenses, this is true financial freedom! Excellent topic. Absolutely correct on automating your finances to gain financial independence.

I appreciate that in theory changing all of the bill dates to synch would be great, but I have just spent hours on the phone with a # of utilities: cable, phone, health insurance, electric and none have been willing to change the bill date even though I told them it was to set up autopay. Electric will not take credit cards or change it as bill cycle depends on when they read the meters. I'm assuming gas heating will say the same. Phone says you need to change your phone # to do it as it ties into hen you open the account. Health insurance will not. Cable says they will, but you need to go to a retail location and they may refuse...but "keep trying other stores"! Maybe its due to living in Boston where everything seems to be a problem.
