Writing and mailing a check instead of paying online. 🤪

When I was in my 30s (many moons ago), we still mailed checks. I managed to mail the electric company check to the phone company and the phone company check to the electric company. Can’t remember who sent the check back first, but they told me it was common. No late penalties or anything.

Make sure to leave a forwarding address to your new home.
