[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A written out google sheets or other tool budget. It’s like going on a diet, unless you write down everything you eat and can see it on (digital) paper, you won’t know where your money is going. 200/mo for cable/internet is steep - do you need to have cable? Could you get just internet for 50-60/ mo then tack on Netflix or something. That would cut that cost in half [/quote]

+100. We pay $55 for internet only (Fios), and then Netflix (most basic plan, like $12/month). And we already have a Prime membership so we also have access to Prime video. I find that's enough for us (family of 4, 2 kids)[/quote]

This is what we do and our cell phone package also picks up the Netflix. So we went from $220 for cable internet + $15 for basic Netflix to just the $60 for internet and we reduced our cell phone bill by switching carriers. The only time I’ve missed cable was during the Olympics and so I paid $5 that month for Peacock. It’s been 2 years since we cut it. So that’s just shy of $4,200 in savings over 2 years.[/quote]
