First class mail gets where it's intended, rest goes in the trash. Gotta be careful if I'm waiting on a rebate, sometimes those don't come first class.

When they send my daughters credit card applications I just toss them away. They know how I feel about CC. If you don't have the money than you wait tell you can afford it. I do have one just in case when I go on a trip but I have enough in my vacation acct to cover the trip. I don't like carrying a large amount of money when I am on a trip.

Good job for throwing away the 'junk mail' for your daughter. You know what's best for her, and even though she's now a legal adult there are still some things you should protect her from....getting up to her nose in credit is one of them. This is one of our motherly instincts...protection. Way to go!
An obstacle is what comes up when you lose sight of your goal.
