Another reason to opt-out

I keep hearing about how if you don't want to get all those useless credit card offers, you should call or go to optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5-OPTOUT (which is 1-888-567-8688).  I'm thinking I've found another good reason:  I got someone else's mail.  Basically, within one credit card offer, there were two offers.  One for me, and one for someone in my same town.  I called them to complain, and the guy said "oh, sometimes our machines can get a bit sticky".  He didn't want the name of who else's offer I got.  "We send out plenty of mailers, she'll be sure to get something else".  Yeah, that's the excuse I heard!

In other news, I got an email from LazyMan in response to a comment I posted on his health blog.  He saw that I'm looking to officially start a personal finance blog.  He sent me a link to an advice list on how to start a personal finance blog.  It references quite a few other blogs, and so it's something I'm thinking I'll be referencing a decent amout while working through my blog.

Okay, I swear I'm going to blog about my trip to Nicaragua soon!

[Edit:  I've started blogging about my trip to Nicaragua on my new site, http://graduatedlearning.wordpress.com/.  Check out Day 1 of my trip here. Check out Day 2 of my trip here.  Day 3 is here and Day 4 is here.  For a recap of the whole trip, and advice for traveling (especially to Nicaragua) click here. I've also stopped updating this site for the most part..., so please check out my new blog!]
