It may take 2 or 3 months, but it will stop. It is harder to get away from the kinds of local flyers and adverts that are sent out to every one in your neighborhood or zip code.

We use quicken and we pay bill thru it. When available, they transfer money electronically to our monthly bill vendors and when a company doesn't take electronic payments(not many), quicken cuts a check and mails it to them.Very seldom have ever run into an issue. Even daycare takes electronic payments. And best of all our bank handles mortgage and our checking account so when the monthly mortgage payment is due, we just transfer funds over to that account. Makes for simple transactions. We went paperless on cks 5 years ago and have had very little trouble. We use quicken and we pay bill thru it.

We do our shopping lists online (via cozi.com) so that we can easily send the lists to our phones: no paper shopping list to worry about; and if one of us needs to change the list while the other is out and about, we simply send the changes. Easy. We use a spreadsheet to quickly track monthly spending. My mom had never used a spreadsheet before, but when she saw how easy it was to use, and how simple it made tedious adding and subtracting tasks (and the way it practically eliminates figuring errors), she was so thrilled that she asked me to transfer her checkbook registers to a spreadsheet as well. I think, of all the conveniences that a computer offers, this is her favorite. And we all got gmail accounts and use chat & email to talk to each other from different rooms and times, instead of leaving paper notes (which might be missed or lost) lying around.
