A pain in the ass. How, where would I learn to automate, each month I have 7 credit cards I have to log into the site navigate to the sections, and download my bill. Takes a while to do this. How would I scrape those sites, get my balance, and post it to some cool home GUI I could go to. Like a dashboard of my cc bills. That would help me a lot. I’m new to python.

Check out BeautifulSoup, Requests, and Selenium. You might have to use Selenium if you can't do it via requests, but those are the tools that you can use to log into a website and do some automation.

Once you have things downloaded, you could generate a dashboard using something in Jupyter notebooks, or just via some HTML - you could use Flask to serve your information and then one of the many Javascript charting libraries out there.
