Who doesn't enjoy being happy? And what is more, who
doesn't enjoy finding ways to lower the stress and expand the
happiness in their lives?
Last week, NBC'S Today Show did a story called "Can
going paperless make you happier?". In this story, the
Today Show's financial editor Jean Chatzky discusses how paying
bills electronically can help save the environment, reduce clutter,
and relieve overall stress.
Chatzky also talks about how paying bills electronically leads
to fewer bills piling up, meaning less clutter as well as a
positive impact on the environment. In the interview, Chatzky
also mentions a study in which users of electronic billing and
payment said overall they were both a happier individual and more
satisfied customer.
Another element that factors into the happiness users experience
comes from the confidence in the safety and security of paying
bills electronically. As Chatzky also points out, users of
electronic billing and payment are also better with their money
because these individuals are more attentive to their accounts,
having the power to check their history, balances and more with the
click of a mouse. What is more, most identity theft happens
from "dumpster divers" getting a hold of paper statements, and
utilizing electronic billing and payment rids of this risk.
Plus, using electronic billing and payment saves these
individuals a lot of time, as well as "at least $60 on stamps" per
year on average. And these people can focus their important
time on other things, rather than sifting through bills and writing
checks.
No wonder users are so happy. Less clutter, less time
taken, less stress-what isn't to love?!
