Mail Boycott
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008
Stamps just got more expensive again! I am so aggravated that I have an entire roll of .41 stamps, it’s maddening! I have really cut down on mail and now I am going on an all out mail boycott.
In stead of going out and buying 100 one-cent stamps, I plan to figure out how to not need them. I have to admit I didn’t even realize that the stamps I had were not the “Forever” stamp.
My in-laws (who are in their 70’s) are the only people I know that don’t have access to email. So if it is work or fun documents someone needs from me they will be getting an electronic copy.
Online bill pay I have already switched to paying my bills on-line and chances are you have too. I do still have a few places that don’t list an on-line option on the bill. I plan to call each of them and find out if there is a way to send the money to them electronically. A few bills I pay go to small companies and I plan to suggest they look into Paypal if they don’t have another option.
Mail was already a sore spot for me, the exasperation of a stamp increase just pushed me over the proverbial edge.
Can you eliminate your mail?
