Simplify your life with online bill pay Dear Mary: My husband has short-term memory loss. He likes to bring in the mail but sometimes forgets to give me a bill. Although I am on the alert, one will get past me once in a while. I'd like to have everything possible charged to a credit card (paid in full every month). Is it wise to get a separate card just for automatic billing? -- Bonnie, email Dear Bonnie: That would be one way to do it, but I think there is a better option. Electronic bill pay allows you to pay your bills direct- ly from your bank account. Go to your bank's website, where you'll learn that your bank allows account holders to check their account bal- ances and transfer funds to any company or individual they want, electronically. Though your bank's pay system may vary slightly, generally this is how it works: You set up a list of the companies and people you want to pay. After you add your bills, you will see them listed in a "payment center," which creates a history that you can use each month instead of having to re-enter the information. To pay a bill, enter a payment amount and the date when you want that company or person to receive your payment; hit "submit" and your payments are taken care of. You can put bills you pay every month -- such as your utilities, credit cards and others -- on "auto bill pay," which makes it even more convenient. Once you get this all set up, you'll be amazed by how simple it is to manage your bank account and pay your bills. Be sure to ask for assistance in getting set up if you have any prob- lems or questions. Dear Mary: How many is too many when it comes to credit cards? I only use two of my cards regularly, but I have about 20. I have heard you never should cancel a credit card because it neg- atively affects your credit score. But I feel that 20 is too many. What should I do? -- Kim, email Dear Kim: More than one credit card is too many, in my opinion. But you're right; once you have them, it can be a huge undertaking to get rid of them. Doing that can damage your credit score temporar- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ily. That's why I suggest you set up a systemized schedule. Cancel one every six months or so to avoid giv- ing your credit score an unneces- sary negative jolt. Just keep in mind that to maintain a high credit score, you need to main- tain a big gap between how much total available credit you have at any given time and how much of that credit you are using. It's not the number of accounts that you have that matters to your credit score; it's the credit ratio. If you regularly pay those two cards you use to $0 each month, you should be good with keeping them. And gear up. It's not so simple as you might assume to get rid of 18 credit accounts.

Gregory Hayes, 29, was driving east on Reeds Creek about 35 mph when due to his extreme intoxi- cation he failed to stop at the posted stop sign and proceeded straight across Wilder Road, driving through a raised wooden fence and the wire field fence attached to the wooden fence. The vehicle continued down an embankment and came to rest in a pasture. Hayes, who was unin- jured, tried to flee the scene by trying to back the vehicle out of the pas- ture before unsuccessfully trying to flag down a ride.

The last unit cleared at 5:27 p.m. The effect of one good-hearted person is incalculable. Oscar Arias
