Still receiving paper statements

From health insurance to credit card bills to updates to your Internet and cable plan, nearly everything has a paperless option now. But you have to take the time to opt into it. It would be nice if companies simply made the choice for you, to stop sending out the piles and piles of documents that, sadly, came from trees. But they don’t have the authority to do that. Pay attention to your mail. You may not even know with what companies you are and aren’t paperless. For each physical piece of correspondence that shows up from companies you regularly do business with, take a moment to sit down, and either go online or make a call to switch to electronic statements.
