How Can We Save Money On Our Home and Cell Phone Service?

June 12, 2015

Dear Cathy:

My husband and I are really strapped for funds.  We are a young couple and we have our first baby on the way.  How can we save money on our home and phone services? Strapped for Funds, Texas

Dear Strapped for Funds:

Some 20% of homes have only cell phones so you can drop your land lines. You can invest in a family cell phone plan with unlimited texting or get a low-cost pre-paid cell phone service for as low as $5.00 a month on the Internet to use only in case of emergencies.

You can also use a service in your area where you can get unlimited local and long distance calling such as Metro PCS (http://www.MetroPCS.com) for as low as $30 a month.  This service is now nationwide but there are other services also. Just conduct your own research.
