I'm with you.  And anyway IIRC there was a scandal awhile back where Intuit
was using the information in customers' electronic checkbooks.

I use a homegrown thing to manage my money.  I can see income and expenses
without regard to payment method (cash/check/debit card/credit card) while
still maintaining running balances for individual accounts. Have budgeting
built in so I know in advance what to pay each week, plus other custom
reports.  Don't have many bills.  Pay credit cards online, everything else
by check.  Last time I looked at electronic payment options for other stuff
it seemed inflexible, i.e. you had to sign up to pay automatically with no
chance to review the charges or anything -- should probably check again, I
would just as soon pay everything electronically, although I get my checks
free and don't pay any service charges, so my only cost is the stamps.
