Downsizing

Luis and I went through our budget last week and found several areas where we can cut back and save. We cancelled several programs that we rarely use, saved money on our internet... and made a major cutback on our cell bill. We decided to downgrade our plan and phones since we rarely use the smartphone features and it's expensive to have an unlimited everything plan! The main things I did were Facebook app, email, and games! Not really worth and extra $100 a month. So we bought cheap phones online, which turned out to be in mint condition! We are now saving all that money! YEAY! Sadly, no more games with friends... and we limited our minutes... so if you want to talk for a long conversation... it's probably best to call at night. We have 1500 minutes, so it's not like we can never talk, it's just that now, after a long time of never counting minutes, we are back to that!
Our beautiful photons... which we are trying to sell.
Our new phones! Luis' rugged manly flip phone and my cute itty bitty phone! It slides open to get a little bigger, but it's tiny! It's hard to go back once you have enjoyed more technology, but it's worth it to us!

Good idea! Mark and I should really do that, but we love our iPhones! I don't think either of us could go back to other phones. I'm glad you're enjoying the savings!!:)
