This is both a statement to how much extra crap I have had, and how easy it is to get rid of …
* Cancelled cable … this will end up only saving about $15 a month, the bill is split, but with me never being home enough to use it, why have cable service? There’s a one-room satellite setup where I’m living anyways, I’ll be just fine.
* Re-did my cell phone plan – T-Mobile just introduced a plan which saves me $35 a month, but makes me commit to a year. No problem, I like T-Mobile a lot.
* Cancelled GameFly and NetFlix – Awesome services but I have not been able to use them to their full capacity. I put my NetFlix on hold in order to avoid billing but keep the queue, and the GameFly holds your account for 6 months before a total deletion. I’ll re-up on these later when other expenses drop.
All in all, it’s $15 + $15 + $23 + $35 = $88 every month starting in February. Over three months, that’s $250 … could get me an iPod, or a nice addition to my other planned savings!
