This is an open letter to the unopened mail in my home.
Dear Mailbox and Letter Piles:
Yes. I am ignoring you. You’re full of it. It being: bills,
checks, notices, warning letters and coupons and other junk. I am addressing
our relationship because dealing with unopened mail is the fourth item on my
list of 14
Declarations of Financial Independence.
Where do I begin? In general, I could talk about the
different types of anxieties
and avoidance issues that can prompt anyone to avoid
dealing with mail. But let’s not go there right now.
Let’s be frugal with our time, and focus on solutions to the
alienation that has developed between me and you—my dear unopened mail.
Can this relationship be saved? I think so. Let’s start with a date night. How about
tonight? I’ll meet you at the mailbox. Then we can move to the bar stools in my
apartment. I’ll make time and space to deal with my mail problems. Plus, there could
be possible bonuses. Every letter could spell financial savings and redemption.
So let’s commit to this:
·
Steady dates with the unopened mail in my life.
·
A concerted effort to locate the problem, get to
the bottom of the pile and to sort through the issues.
·
A promise to open up and be accountable.
And let’s be real, and keep our options open. I want to be
free to explore other mail options, including additional electronic bill-paying
services.
Sincerely,
Sharon
