It's funny...

Back in the old house we lived in, we had those centrally located community mailboxes with key access. You know the ones that were in a block of around sixteen and had no aesthetic appeal whatsoever?

It was pretty much impossible to put mail-to-go in those boxes and actually have it picked up. So that meant having to remember to take the mail to some other post office box and, hopefully, have the stamp to send it as well. Since most of my outgoing mail was always bills, this meant running the risk of having a payment run late if I didn't have my act together.

Now I live in a community where I have my own mailbox. I can put the little red flag up and everything.

Except now I pay the vast majority of my bills online and barely use the mailbox at all.
