Credit card collectors are after you. The check is in the mail. Your water bill is past due. The check is in the mail. You need to pay your utility bills. The check is in the mail. Your property taxes are due. The check is in the mail. Over and over and over again, the response is always the same. The check is in the mail. Then you look at your bank account and wince, there is no check in the mail because there is no money to send. This scenario is played too often. It is sad and cries out for help.

Enjoy not having to worry about this. It isn't pleasant.

The mail is getting slower all the time. I think we'll have to go back to Pony Express.

That is why the rich have multiple sources of income.
They just do not have salary.
The lesson learnt is that we must save and invest and let our money grow.
So many countries have stock market, and so many people get rich through stock and property, yet the vast majority refuses to learn.

Snail mail is slow lately! I mailed out a check (March 23) that's due April 8 and they still haven't cashed it out yet! I don't know .. It's the DMV drivers license!
