I’m blind living alone and was wondering of a easy way of taking care of all my paper work like bills and legal documents, family is either to far away or to busy, I all ready know it’s fucked up but that’s life, so was just wondering if any other’s have any good ideas

Hmm, I'd say
a. Get as much of the bills etc as you can set up online. Most companies have that, I pay all my bills except my Home Woner's Association fees online, and even with those fees I give them 3 checks in a row for 3 months.

2. I personally posted an ad on Craigslist.com and offered $12/hour for someone to come help me with basic stuff like paperwork/shopping etc. I know not everyone could afford that but I've noticed it only takes 2 to maximum 3 hours per week so it's $30 and that includes the shopping thing, if it's paperwork only it might only be an hour every 2 weeks, and this way you don't have to depend on friends or family and can invite them or they can come visit knowing you just want to hang out, not that you need something. Of course it wouldn't bother them to help you out but with me I like people to know I can take care of everything and I just want them to come visit because I like spending time with them.
Just some ideas, :)
cheers
