How many times have you received a letter in the mailbox? Or an e-mail, text message, or phone call telling you they know what you need?

In retirement, you need less stuff, not more, to clutter up your days.

Here’s one

I answered the phone, the recorded voice said, “Your car’s paperwork has crossed my desk today. We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty. This is your final notice.” That was three years ago, and I continue to get three calls a week.

One time I stayed on the line. I wanted to find out what these people knew about my car’s warranty. Two phone buzzes later, a man answered.

“Okay, please give me your car’s make, model and miles you have on your car.”

Whoa, wait, I thought you said this information came across your desks today. I hung up.

You should all hang up on these calls.

I’m a member of the National Do Not Call list. It doesn’t stop these calls.

So, laugh, roll your eyes and hang up.
