Telephone vs Cell Phone
First, check the different providers and the plans they have. Stick with a basic plan and forget all those funny stuffs and extras that are dispensable and only make you spend more money. Nowadays wireless carriers offer all the applications that a regular phone offers so you won’t need a regular phone at home. Stick to just one.

Cable
Search for a package that offers all in one – internet and cable. A wireless router will do the trick to have internet all over the house, there is no need to require two or three internet connections.

Sell your Stuff
If you have valuable stuff that you don’t use at all and you want to get rid of it like: sport equipment you no longer use, clothes, garden tools (why keep a lawn mown if you don’t have lawn, decoration items, etc. (no, you can not sell your term life insurance) take pictures of all the items and list them on eBay.com or Halfoff.com. You can earn some money and have your dream vacation or just put it on a saving account for future use.

    These are great tips! My energy saving tip is unplug all chargers when you don’t use them. This can cause fire and at the same time eats up electricity. Thanks for your great information.

    I’ve given up the home telephone, and now I’m only using a cell phone. It’s much cheaper this way and the best part is that no one is calling me to sell me something.

    Cell phones are overrated. People have been getting by without them for thousands of years. They’re a luxury device.

    I really don’t agree with Manhattan, a cell phone is a necessity, an affordable necessity. Today, communication has become a very important aspect of our lives, which can’t be ignored. I really can’t see myself without Internet and a cell phone.

    I don’t think they are a luxury. Some cell phones cost less than a video game and there are packages with low call prices.
