My mother taught me this. When you get unwanted junk mail from credit card companies. Open it up, write on the back of the original envelope (or whatever piece of paper has your name and address on it)'Please take me off of your mailing list'. And then stuff ALL of it into the return envelope, and mail it back. It will arrive postage due at the credit card company because they only paid for you to return a single piece of paper. I get far less junk mail than I used to.
That's a great tip, Greener. I'm all about marketing services, but the level of these mailings seems insane (and really environmentally irresponsible!) to me.
In the eighties, I was a little kid who put together model buildings out of notebook paper and Scotch tape and spent days on end playing Monopoly with my best friend. What I've done over the last decade is pretty much the same thing. I began buying, renovating, and renting dozens of properties during Architecture school, where I mostly learned how to stay awake for six days straight.
Today I'm a new mother married with four dogs and way too many houses along the coasts of Florida. We recently moved into and began working on a three story lake house built in 1928.

We don't even use credit cards anymore.
