[quote=Anonymous]If it were up to me I'd get rid of our cable/internet/phone package right now. I rarely watch tv, only check the home phone messages once a month so I keep that unplugged because it's 99% phone harassment ie scam selling crap, internet I could just use my phone but it's too small so I rarely use it. Only one person has my number, my husband and he only calls me maybe once in a while on his way home. Verizon sold phone my number and I'm getting a few unwanted calls now that I block. But add another $150 for that, well half because my husband gets an $80 stipend for his phone through his work, we could be saving much more. One bill instead of two.

My husband is addicted to tv. Always has been. I honestly believe it's because he wasn't allowed to watch tv when he grew up. Or should I say they weren't allowed to watch what normal kids watch so for him, I just let it go but damn, that's $200 a month I could put into a Christmas savings account and be done for gift buying. Combine that with the $400 I save monthly for my own savings fund, I could spread a lot of Christmas cheer. KWIM.

Maybe when he retires we can cut this expense. To get internet only they charge more than the entire package. It's disgusting. TV rots your brain literally. My husband needs a year round hobby.  [/quote]
