If you're like me and a lot of people these days, PayPal handles a lot of bills for you.
With Netflix , eBay , and various other services linked to a PayPal account, the fees are all handled automatically without having to do so much as click a link or tap on an app.
However, because I'm never exactly sure when a PayPal charge is coming, I always leave a cushion of cash in the account. I also like knowing that with cash in my account I can immediately send money if I have access to a phone or computer that has access to the web.
