So, when Pat and I decided we would be really dedicated to this paying off debt resolution, Pat suggested we get rid of cable. I thought for sure he was joking, we both enjoy watching television and although our time is limited, we still use it enough to pay for it.
I then started to realize that lately television has went down on the priority list and that I actually watch most of my shows online. After some checking, I found that all of my favorites could be found online and gave Pat the green light. We officially turned off our home phone, which was a no brainer, we never use it, and also had the cable turned off. We upgraded our internet by one level and we are now going to be saving $60 per month by making these changes!
We have started following the Dave Ramsey plan per a couple recommendations and I will definitely try to share on our progress throughout the year. I feel like this was a great first step and can't wait to find other easy ways for us to save money!
Wish us luck as we start this new adventure!!!
