It is not always the case that the cheapest is the best nor preferable.
Sometimes you get what you pay for. Sometimes paying a little bit of
money for convenience is worth it. YMMV.

Well I'm here to tell ya son, the other statements are equally as true.
In time you may learn this too...

As have I - *for the last 12 years!* Though I do pay a fee. Bottom line
is that to me it's worth it.

Initiating bill payments from Quicken does not necessarily cost anything -
the cost is dependent on your financial institution.
For MANY years (close to a decade) I initiated payments from within Quicken
for no cost - but just recently Wachovia instituted a fee schedule for
initiating payments through Quicken or Money.

Pre-authorized debits with individual accounts have a few disadvantages,
IMO. Primarily, you need to update information with more than one vendor if
you change banks, change payment amounts, or want to cancel an account.
Using a bill-pay system, whether through personal finance software, or
through your financial institution, keeps all the authorizations in a single
place. While Wachovia instituted a fee schedule for payments initiated
through software programs, they added a free bill payment service at their
website.
Many banks offer this free service, and Quicken can still be used to keep
track of the transactions.
