You have to go to the bank and deposit it, interact with other people. We've lost a lot of human contact thanks to cellular phones and the inter net. When something is printed on paper, if stored correctly, can be looked at 300 years from now. With a computer, it's a lot tougher, unless it's an email from the king of Nigeria telling you he has $1 million for you if you give him your account number. I had an external hard drive that lost me over 300 pictures I never printed. That might be part of the reason I am anti digital to a point. A computer virus can't delete what's on paper. I like protecting and saving things and history.

You must have a ton of extra time and money on your hands. I save a ton of time by printing my labels (from both my eBay stores) at my desk. I also get a pretty nice discount as well as free tracking. I do print out a sales record for each sale and have those records all the way back to 1997.

Actually I do. I'm actually spending some extra time as we speak. Money though, in about 2 and a half years I should be good. I consider myself retired, though I'm no where near 65. Unemployed people look for work, I'm not looking for work, so therefore I am the other one. Maybe that's one reason I am ok with human contact since I don't have to commute to work with all that crap. I never liked it and never will. I don't take pleasure in riding a crowded subway train and having someone's elbow in my mouth.
