I don’t even know what an Ipad is! We don’t have a cell phone and when we finally got satellite internet this year, we dropped the second landline that had been our internet connection as we have an internet based business. This is something we try to be very aware of, those expenses that add up, as we just haven’t had the money to pay for them. However, when I see so many people with these gadgets, etc. I do wonder how they can afford them.

Yeah. I love the Internet and on-demand netflix, but really, I feel in many ways our grandparents had it so much easier when it comes to expenses. If they didn’t qualify for a fixed-rate mortgage, they didn’t buy a house, and there weren’t as many nickel and diming ways to lose money every month.

Awsome article, and it really makes it so obvious how many things there are that we can waste our money on each month. When it comes to internet, if you have an ipad, get rid of your home internet connection, its probably cheaper getting it just on the ipad comapred to the likely phone internet tv package you have through your cable provider. Just some common sense tips, and many people could save hundreds each month. I recently cut my premium channels and got rid of one of the cable boxes in my house. It saved me close to 60$ a month.
