Don't go away for two weeks and expect to get through the accumulated mail in less than a day. The mountain of mail that was deposited yesterday on the doorstep took the better part of a morning to sort through. The thing is you can't just sort by seeing who it is from you have to open each letter especially if it is from a credit card company or worse from your credit card company. You can't take a few days to go through the pile either or you will surely miss a bill that was due tomorrow.
Letters from other credit card companies contain all the necessary information for a stranger to open an account in your name for them to use and letters from your own credit card company almost always contain a few handy checks so the bad guys can just make straight draws on your accounts(but at an attractive interest rate). It wouldn't be so bad if their were just one or two a week but some days I have 5 or 6 offers in the mail...new card, better card, equity line of credit, bill consolidation, vacation money, new car money, home improvement money, HDTV money or just plain money.
Everything is now opened and shredded but I think I just heard the mail truck go by.
