What’s even wilder is that the person who was supposed to receive the salary didn’t notice it for a year, and only noticed it after her credit card was declined, which means she doesn’t even look at her credit card bills and pay them.
It’s possible if someone has a very high income, a high amount in their checking account, spends much less than they earn and pays all bills with automatic payment.
Automatic Payment is OK for bills that are the same every month. Bills like a credit card need to be looked at before paying.
On autopay, no doubt. That'll keep you paid up until you run out.
