DH's tip of the day -- MAIL COSTS

May 19th, 2006 at 01:33 pm

Hubbie is usually concerned with the BIG ideas on our finances. And...he is usually very skeptical about using online billing. But...he has spent the last month checking on security issues, etc. and...

Yesterday he moved all of our bill paying to online accounts.

He calculated this saves us $8 each month on stamps, let alone envelopes, scratch paper, and GASOLINE to the post office (never mail bills/money/checks from home...we have some security issues with mailboxes in our area).

So, $8 a month comes to $96+ a year.

Plus less stress...the computer reminders are much easier to deal with than the PILE of mail that has to be sorted through (or buried) each month.

    Don't forget to calculate your time too...........the most valuable asset we've got! I was amazed to see how quickly I can handle the bill paying event here. Nothing compared to the production it used to be.

    I've started tracking that too and it's really amazing.

    You know I've never even thought of how much I save by doing my bills online. I've just thought of how much easier it is. Maybe every time I make a bill payment online I should add 39 cents to my credit cards. Hmmm...

    Absolutely...and late bill payments...DH tends to bury the mail when I clean house, only to find some unpaid bill lurking in the back of the cabinet later. ACK. NO LATE FEES!
