Don’t lose the landline
A Tale of Cell Phones and Landlines
A while back, I was looking at my monthly bills and decided to start cutting out the fat. I went through each bill and analyzed what services I was really using versus what I was simply paying for. I managed to slice out about $75 per month worth of stuff that I really didn’t need. Then I came to my local phone bill. I started thinking about how often I used it versus how much I rely on my cell phone. Ditching it would save me about $50 per month. So, after some initial squeamishness, I decided to take the plunge. No more landline! Over the course of a year, this would save me about $600. Wow, not bad!
