Do you subtract the money for each category account when you pay a credit card bill? Seems so complex. Is there anyway to simplify (note: we are a couple with joint accounts)

Thoughts about what to put excess savings into? I've maxed out my RRSP and TFSA, emergency fund is good, no debt (or mortgage), and I have $15k that's not invested. Not sure if I should put it into one of the robo-advisor options or keep buying ETFs or mutual funds or what?

I have a NRI home loan through ICICI bank and I realized today (mar 6th) that my emi money was in a different account and the auto pay account didn’t have sufficed balance(auto pay is for mar 5) I immediately transferred money to the emi auto pay account and haven’t heard from the bank about any late payment etc but was wondering if there is usually a grace period or something before it’s considered a ‘missed EMI’? Any advice would be appreciated, a little nervous about this :/
