Leaving aside the financial aspect, there are much better uses of
time than trips to the post office to spend 20p posting a letter.

That merely shows how extremely narrow your experience is.

On the contrary, the boot is on the other foot. It's a limited view
to be thinking of the lowest financial expenditure to have the lowest
cost when all factors, including how time are taken into account.

The majority of people have a fixed income, in the sense that their
salary is the same however many hours they work.

Or people who receive 'overtime' payment.
