I became less of a Luddite and learned how to make online payments of my bills. The Post Office got a credit card payment late when it couldn't deliver a piece of mail from Gettysburg to St. Louis within TWO WEEKS. Because of previous slow deliveries I kept an eye on the payment. When it wasn't delivered as of the due date I made the payment online so I wouldn't get hit with the interest and late charges. Luckily I had the money available. The check I mailed became a heck of a down payment on the next month's bill.
