Statements

Over the last few years we have converted to online statements for most of our household bills. There are pros and cons. Advantages are much less paper strewn around the house. Disadvantage is that we don’t always remember to check online bills say for family mobile phones, so it is easy to take your eye off the ball! What are your views?

We are now paperless for almost everything, but it is so easy to forget to check statements and bills .. almost out of sight, out of mind ... what are your views??

We opted for paperless statements in fact we manage all our money matters on line. If I need to produce a statement I simply go on line and print it off.
Our internet security is provided by Kaspersky this is my third year with the company and intend to buy two more years when this contract ends. I have peace of mind also it does not slow my computer down.
I tax my vehicles on line and arrange the insurance the same way. I try to be as paperless as possible.
We don’t buy newspapers we go on line to read them. As for books we have not bought a paper back or a hard back book in three years. We down load Ebooks to a kindle.
As for junk mail I post them back to the company marked “return to sender” I also email the company and ask them to take me off their mailing list.
I would recommend everyone to go paperless

when it comes to bill paying esp the phone i prefer to know what has been spent on the phone but i do phone up and pay as not many banks have the facilty to pay over the counter and some charge for the service.
