Bills & Headache...

Problems don’t go away by themselves. This is one thing I’ve learned.  Problems need to be tackled, wrestled or harnessed. What I’m saying is - take the bull by its horns.
If you receive a bill you can’t pay, you need to contact the company or the person who sent you the bill and negotiate the payment proper in detail else the bill can turn your already screwed-up life into a Halloween nightmare of harassments, phone calls and law suits.  And don’t go arguing about it with the sender either, you may be buttering your drowning ego with sulphuric acid. 
Many don’t take the step to negotiate but burn the bill or throw it away and when the next suspicious envelope with their name on it arrives in the mail they cringe and suffer looking at it and thinking what they should do next. Some may even drop with a massive cardio attack.
This anxiety attack may continue for weeks and months and by then the initially fairly small amount may have snowballed sending you problems with enormous proportions. Some go into hiding or flee to another country in a last-ditch attempt to escape the horror and calamity this one small bill in the post had brought to their lives.
All humans or any modern Homosapien irrespective where you choose to live or hide as a whole have similar or worst problems. Only in very very remote case the company that sent you the bill will IGNORE and send you a “Bill sent in Error – Payment not Required” note. This only happens when u’re dead or in your dreams.
These ploy of trade started long time ago when the barter trade amongst ealy men moved slowly into penny and shilling trading. And later with hard cash, then green backs and then to plastic cards. Small collectors or thugs employed by these companies chase you or your family for the amount owed and if not paid they send their henchmen butchers to nail you down no matter what it takes even if u're on Jack Sparrow's derelict yacht sailing under the ocean.
When this happens to you, you wish you’re living on the moon or born  to a hyena or wish there was no such thing as debts. In other words, what is happening is that there is cannon sized gun / barrel pointing to your head and just waiting for the crane size trigger to go carrying a lorry load full of gun powder.
So the answer to the above problem is simple. Cancel all your credit cards, don’t buy anything on-line and don’t make rich blood-sucking companies richer. Use hard cash at all times and avoid going to big posh expensive places to shop or dine unless your father is some Sheik or some Sultan pussy-arse Arab.
In a short period of time at the end of the day, you would begin to realize how much you had saved. When giant companies cashing in on you realize their tricks of trade is no longer working, they will wither and disappear or ply their trade in a plutonium mine.
Countless stacks of bills long overdue will ONLY add more medical bills to burn your pockets and a hole in your heart.
Take Heed.
