Laziness = Death of trees...
So, Scott's IRA company has this brilliant process of mailing your Account updates to you EVERY 2 WEEKS. I find this to be A. ridiculously annoying (as they handle everything anyway) and B. a huge waste of paper. I'd asked Scott some time ago whether there was SOME way of getting them to stop, and he always claimed no. So I decided today that I was fed up with the HUGE pile of 2 week updates on his IRA.
So I did the presumptuous thing and set him up an online account with his IRA company and had them switch everything to Email instead. Now, I won't have to break out the shredder every two weeks, and Scott's inbox will only be slightly more spammed than usual. It's a pretty cool website too. Now he can go on and see his daily stock activity and whatnot.
I feel slightly guilty for being presumptuous, but dear god. It was annoying getting paper from them ALL the FRIKIN time.
