Any bills that have the option are electronic. I keep many documents on my usb stick, not only saving paper but it’s also really handy between work and home.

I wasn't too pleased with the new layout when Office 2007 was released. It was like learning software all over again! I love this feature. It's pretty neat, and a lot of places I send items such as resumes to don't have 2007 yet, so PDF is wonderful! I too am now starting to store all my bills online... my phone bill is set up that way and so are my credit card statements. I just signed up on Epost to get a bill delivered there so I don't have to deal with the paper statements again. It's great! I hear ya!

You're just hurting the environment even more by releasing those materials into the air. Other than that great tips! Don't burn plastic on the envelops or coated paper.

That's where I see is the bottleneck in e-bill paying. I am pretty careful to check my statements (instead of paying blindly), and I think they even force you to go to the website and look at the statement before you pay it. They won't send me the pdf, I have to download it from the site.... which forces me to review the statement. :) Ah.. but your husband is lousy at checking emails.

I definitely agree with backing up. This is something that sadly, not many people do. I try to back up weekly or when I have to save really big and important documents. I usually smash my items with a big hammer, even if I feel bad about it. Or I give it to my parents, making sure they KNOW I want them to keep it, and if they want to get rid of it, they have to call me. You make some fabulous points!
