Cable, Phone, Internet.... Wake up people

I have a cingular 8525 with the internet and the whole deal. I have to tell you, after having this phone for a few months I have cancelled my internet access.This access increased my cell phone bill by 50% and I came to reason that spending $50 for home internet, and $50 for cell internet was just rediculous.

Where does it all end, think about it?
$110 for Cable
$50 for Home Internet
$100-150 for cell phone (single - Family)
$50 for cell internet (at$t approximate)
$25-$80 for home phone

That is as much as $440 per month some families (mine) are paying for cable,phone, internet.

You could be driving a Porsche Boxter for that monthly payment. I started feeling like a sheep so I cut almost all of it out. Now I have Cable, and cell phone. And I reduced my monthly Expense to around $125 and still have home cable internet access. Hey, I can afford to spend $400 a month, why should I give my money to a company that I hate. (most people do Hate cable and phone companies because they rape you).

I now pay 155.00 for everything thats including taxes.. ;o)

As for 440 a month for a porche? not in florida
Maybe for a minivan.. lol

Everything the phone comp charged me for as extras , Bright house gives included.

If your really wanting to cut back. I would suggest going back to air tv, get a dial-up internet service & get a prepaid cell phone and forget the long distance..

I would also say that you would have to spend some money to save money.

Get an efficient a/c unit, switch to all fouresent light bulbs, get energy miser appliances for a good start.

then start looking at what cell phone plane you have, do you really need that blackberry?
then do you really need that new truck? would a new/used truck that gets better mileage be more cost efficent?

We have no one to blame for the higher debt we get into. I lived in a mobile home for 9 yrs.
it wasnt pretty. I had basic everything and a 30 yr old car. But I had money, now I have two semi new cars, the house and all the extras and the debt that comes with it....;o(

Signal,

1. My home is 2 years old, my ac is efficient. I didnt complain about my utility bill, I pay for what I use.

2. Yes you can drive a Boxter for $440 per month. I drive a 2005 Porsche Boxter and My payment is 421.64 per month.

3. DO i need my blackberry? Is that not the whole point of this blog you idiot? You must be one of those 95% that I am better than.

Last Porche I looked at just for fun the payments would have run me around $750+/month. S/D must have PUT one hell of a hefty down payment down and/or had extremely good credit to get that low a payment.

Give us a break SD. Even if Porsche came out with 0% financing, which they will NEVER do, $421.64 times 60 months means your Porsche Boxster cost 25k. Where exactly do you pick up Porsche's at 50% off?

Let's see
60 a month for phone with internet
15 a month for home internet
no home phone
24 bucks a month for basic basic basic cable television
I guess I'm doing okay.

ever hear of putting CASH down on a car? How about a trade? And yes I do have good credit. Look we are getting off topic. I was simply stating that I pay tons of money for these things. It isnt just me, I know a lot of people who pay these outrageous amounts of money for this stuff. I just think it's crazy.

Not like I am making up these prices. My cell phone bill is almost $170 per month if I dont go over my minutes. At&t. 1400 min family plan with internet 2 phones and internet only on one. That is the price.

Why would I lie about my car payment?
