It\u2019s time to reduce the amount of paper in your house.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with your monthly bills and statements.\u00a0 Do you know how to receive bills electronically?\u00a0 The process is actually quite simple.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to set up an account with each service provider, and elect to receive paperless statements.\u00a0 Yes, it is that easy.\u00a0 Not sure where to start?\u00a0 Start here:<\/p>\n

Step 1: Start with accounts that are already set up<\/p>\n

You will need an on-line account for each bill or statement.\u00a0 This might be easy for you if you already shop on-line.\u00a0 For example, do you have a Macy\u2019s credit card?\u00a0 Did you ever shop on-line from Macy\u2019s?\u00a0 If so, you may already have an account, so just log on and elect paperless statements.\u00a0 It\u2019s really that easy, and quite addictive.\u00a0 Once you start requesting paperless statements, you\u2019ll want them for all of your accounts.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Establish accounts for each bill<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have an account yet?\u00a0 This is more common for utility bills.\u00a0 Just go out to the provider\u2019s website and set up a new account.\u00a0 Once the account is set up, elect to receive paperless statements.<\/p>\n

Hint: Be sure to track which accounts you\u2019ve set up.\u00a0 You can do this on your List of Monthly Bills that we talked about earlier.\u00a0 Click here<\/a><\/p>\n

Once your bills and statements are electronic, you\u2019ll usually receive a reminder through your e-mail.\u00a0 Track the amount due each month on your List of Monthly Bills<\/a>, and when it\u2019s time to pay the bills, you\u2019ll have the information at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

Success<\/strong>: When I first started, I had 13 statements.\u00a0 So that equated to 156 fewer pieces of mail coming into our household.\u00a0 Most statements are 2-4 pages, so that meant anywhere from 312 to 624 fewer pieces of paper to file and store.\u00a0 That makes me happy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So set aside an hour, and see how many statements you can convert to paperless.<\/p>\n
