Are you a Millennial? Do you open and read your mail?

Or do you just assume it's all junk and throw it away, because who the hell sends mail anymore? (Bad people, that's who.)

I'm working on a piece about Millennials and the mail, and would love to hear your hot mail takes.

I read the outside of the envelope and keep stuff that looks important, but don’t usually open it.

Throw away anything addressed to "your neighbor" / try to do paperless everything/ rip up everything that has my name & info on it and wants me to sign up for a credit card, etc./ somehow I randomly am subscribed to Golf mag & SHAPE with no recollection of how./ throw real mail on my coffee table & open w/in the week.

Stuff sent to my ma’s house, she’ll open for me and relay important info. Everything else I get is usually a care package so I LOVE MAIL. 🙂

I switched all of my bills to be paperless so if I get mail, I open it. I also happen to live on a remote island so we don't get "junk" mail. It's alarming how many people get mail to their parents... I also have a weird thing about sending friend's letters/post cards.

I only read and open mail that's important. But man oh man do I love ANY catalog that comes in my slot whether it's Victoria's secret or skymall!

I throw away all hand-written mail that looks personalized and friendly and eagerly open the envelopes that have lower interest rates in big bold print on the front.

You should do this on Millennials and voicemails if you really want to get people fired up 🔥 😡

I open most of my mail but do avoid the loan offer letters. Those get ripped in half and tossed pretty quick.

I just wish the important mail was served to us, like a summons. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

John, this might be your most essential response: "Stuff sent to my ma’s house, she’ll open for me and relay important info. Everything else I get is usually a care package so I LOVE MAIL"

I check my mail maybe 2x per month, and 90% of it is credit card offers.

It should be illegal to send unsolicited mail. I hate the idea that there is probably a never-ending stream of mail with my name on it funneling into every apartment I've ever lived
