Ditch paper checks and save a little extra money

Have you ever seen an"ACH" payment option on your bills? If so, you've probably also noticed that you need to provide your account number and routing numbers in order to set up ACH payments. That's because an ACH payment is transferred directly from one bank to another via the Automated Clearing House network.

But because ACH transfers don't have these expensive transaction fees, most companies will allow customers to make ACH payments for free.For many of us, if we still have checks at all, it's only because we have one or two monthly bills that can't be paid with cards. But if you hate writing checks, you may be able to kick them out of your life for good by switching to ACH withdrawals.

If you have to remind yourself each and every month to drop off the check for your water bill by the due date, ACH payments could simplify your life and relieve stress.Initiating ACH transfers with your account and routing numbers is usually pretty straightforward. These are the steps that you'll need to take.If you still use paper checks, that's one of the easiest places to find your account and routing numbers.

You'll often be asked to type your routing number once and your account number twice. Be careful when you're typing in these numbers. You don't want to make any mistakes and cause a hiccup in the process.ACH withdrawals typically take three to five days to process. Many companies will regard a payment as"on time" as long as it was initiated by the due date. But just in case, you may want to send your payment a few days early.

Amazon Cancels 'Forever' After One SeasonAmazon Cancels 'Forever' After One SeasonAccording to Vulture, Amazon has canceled Forever, a wonderfully surrealist show about imperfect soulmates reconnecting in death, after just one season. I really enjoyed Forever (and wrote about it here), specifically for its secular meditations on what happens when we die and the seemingly unending sensation of grief, plus hedonistic ghosts and other ghoulish supernaturalism. Fred Armisen (Oscar) and Maya Rudolph (June) were wonderful as the show’s central couple. I’ll miss those characters, but I’m totally cool with Forever kicking the bucket after eight glorious episodes.
