I'd like to say it's my brain, but that's not it. It's my mailbox, where all of my readers' tips, tricks, hints and really nice let- ters show up. Check out these great tips from "Everyday Cheap- skate" readers: CREDIT CARD MAKEOVER. I ordered the "Total Body Makeover," which requires six payments of $20. I decided to cancel after the first shipment, but the company makes it nearly impossible to cancel your order. So I called my credit card company and explained the situa- tion to the representative. She can- celed my credit card and sent me a new card with a different account number. That way, I didn't have to worry about being charged for a product that I didn't want. -- Shelia P., e-mail MAIL MARVEL. Here's a good way to cut down on the junk mail that you receive: Take a pen with you when you collect your mail. At the mailbox, draw a slash through your name and address, and write "Return to Sender" on the envelope. The organization has to pay postage two ways. It quickly will get the message that sending mail to you could get expensive. -- Bonnie, e-mail MORTGAGE CONTROL. I enjoy making my mortgage payments because I watch my bal- ance shrink, penny by penny, every month. I requested a current amortization schedule so I can decide exactly how much extra I want to apply to the principal every month. Then I send an extra payment after my regular monthly pay- ment is due, so as not to confuse them. I mark the second payment clearly as "Additional Principal Payment." A separate envelope with a separate date is a must to be sure the mortgage com- pany applies the money the way I want. I also took back from the lender the escrow payments it had collected. Therefore, I pay my own real estate taxes and my own home- owners insurance. This helps me keep an eagle eye on all three responsibilities. -- Linda J., e-mail BILL BUSTER. I use online banking, which allows me to schedule payments for my bills well in advance. I schedule my payments while taking into account future auto- matic deposits. This allows me to travel freely without worrying that my bills won't be paid while I am away from home. -- Donn B., Florida Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate FREE INTERNET. I don't pay for Internet ser- vice. NetZero offers free dial-up service, which I use when I'm in a pinch or if I need a secure connection. When I simply am surfing and I don't need security, I seek out free Wi-Fi spots in town. -- Kelly, e-mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.
