28. It wouldn't impact me.

Wed Feb 6, 2013, 11:06 PM

Feb 2013

I don't have any bills that arrive at the house so close to the due date that responding Tuesday instead of Monday would matter.

Edit to add: My bills are paid online mainly, but I recognize it's a matter of privilege to assume everyone has that level of financial stability. I've got some friends with no bank accounts. One cancelled his because he had an emergency $50k medical bill he couldn't pay. Now he's afraid if he deposits a paycheck the debt collectors will find a way to garnish it. His "savings account" consists of a stack of 10-20 paychecks he hasn't got around to cashing yet.
