" OK, so there should be a small asterisk on that headline; the folks at Manilla.com aren&amp;#039;t offering to pay your bills for you. (It&amp;#039;d be nice, wouldn&amp;#039;t it?) The site does, however, organize your banking, credit cards, utility/phone/cable bills, magazine subscriptions, and loyalty programs \u2014 basically, anything for which you have an online account \u2014 into one handy resource. The founders of Manilla.com (which is backed by the Hearst Corporation, Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s parent company) realized that there are a few obstacles for a lot of us to going paper-free. One, the aforementioned fear of missing a payment (after all, if you get a physical statement in the mail, it&amp;#039;s hard to ignore); two, the annoyance of having to remember user names and passwords for innumerable websites you must log into to pay your bills; and three, concerns about the safety of financial information online. Their solution: Consolidate all those statements into one account with one super-secure login (they use the same encryption that banks do). It&amp;#039;s beyond simple. First, sign up by creating a username and password (plus security questions). Then, select your accounts from the categories of Finance, Household, Subscriptions, and Travel &amp;amp;amp; Rewards (where you can enter your airline frequent-flier information). Enter the user names and passwords you use for those online accounts, or be sent to the sites of those vendors to set up an online login and officially go paper-free. Manilla syncs up your accounts and shows you all of your payment notices on one screen. It will automatically send you e-mails and text messages (if you so choose) to remind you when bills are due. You can even view the full statements through the site, so you can check the charges before paying up.  So far, the site has all the major banks and many major utility companies available for linking \u2014 I was able to get all of mine set up \u2014 and it&amp;#039;s constantly adding more as users request them. I like being able to see what I owe, when I owe it, and I no longer have to rely on my old system of calendar alerts and e-mails from various vendors to remember to pay my bills on time. It&amp;#039;s a win-win-win. Do you bank and pay bills online? Tell us about your system for staying on top of your finances in the comments below. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
