Success!

Well. Maybe success is too strong of a way to phrase it. But it feels like success in any case. As I mentioned before, I signed up at the sites in this post to freeze my credit history. I also found some more interesting sites. Like this one: Opt Out Pre-Screen. Apparently if you're in one of a few useful states (like California), you can request to have them stop sending you credit card offers!

I've done all of this. And by god. The offers have almost stopped. I still get a few, but easily an order of magnitude less. I can nearly hear the sighs of thousands of trees that won't now be turned into trash at my mailbox.
