And from a security perspective, once I have your email, I own you. I hit every bank, brokerage, mobile carrier, ecommerce site, etc for reset password. Poof. Gone. And if someone cashes out your 401k, IRA, etc you lost your life savings *and* get the tax bill later

My next trick is going to be migrating 15+ years of my wife's personal correspondence over to the family domain from gmail. The kids (3 and 1) are both already set up. Totally worth the $200 or so I spend every year on registrations and cloud providers.
