Greetings,

I've written a 3 part series on how to utilize online services to stop junk mail. Hopefully, by using these sites you can "dump the junk" in 2012.

The new year is also the start of income tax season. I've updated my article on free online e-filing tax services. A few of the companies from last year have dropped out of the free file program and some of the remaining companies have changes their requirements.

Mail Preference Service DMA Choice Stop Junk Mail
You don't need to pay a service to reduce the amount of junk mail delivered to your home. With the investment of a little time, you can do it yourself for free. Reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive each year by taking advantage of the current online options to opt-out.
