In that lovely list of monthly bills I forgot the cell phone bill. I need to print that out and take it in with me to find out what some of these new charges are for. When I redid my plan I was told it should be about $20 cheaper than my previous plan. Instead it's $20 more! I may have to see how low I can take if for now and give up the luxury of having internet on my phone. Can you downgrade your plans, I wonder? I know you can always upgrade them.
On my list of to-do's is to get myself to Kinko's to fax in my last Alack claim for my medical savings account. That's about $400 worth of income that could be used right now. I also need to take a pic of my oven and get that listed to sell.
One other thing I'm considering is trying to sell my car. I owe roughly $10,500. If I could sell it for that, I could take some from my retirement fund that I'm liquidating and buy something less expensive and not have that payment each month. I do love my car. It's the first vehicle that I have ever purchased entirely on my own and it represents independence to me. But I need to put emotions aside and focus on cutting, saving, and being financially responsible. I guess the first step is to find the blue book value for it and see if it's actually worth what I owe.

Very interesting blog! I am very money-conscious myself and have questioned whether or not to keep our cell phone since we rarely use it. We get charged way more than most countries, it's a completely manufactured inflation like CDs and DVDs.
Thanks for visiting my blog Celtic Buffy, those are two of my favourite things! I love all these Celtic and still mourn and miss the show Buffy. I love the money angle too!
