Wanna make more money? Start at home.

We all wish we could make more money, but sometimes the best way to have more is to look around your house and simplify and save on things you do and use every day. Two big monthly bills for us were internet and television. John knew that I wanted to bundle our internet and TV services for a while but we never thought there was a provider who could offer us a good price and meet our needs. Last week we were offered a bundled price for internet and TV for the same we were paying for TV alone! Best yet, that low price would be locked in for 2 years. It seemed like a good deal and we just got done making the switch. We actually bundled with our current internet provider so television was the only thing we had to change - satellite to cable. I think we will end up saving about $60/mo. which, over 2 years, will save us a lot of dough. We do have a whole set of new television channels to "relearn" but in the long run it's worth it.

So, while I continue to clip coupons and look for bargains on clothes, groceries and the like, I strongly encourage everyone to take a step back and look where costs can be cut in things you do every day - you just might be surprised.
