I know that if you are ten years younger than me or more, you have already figured this out. But, I'll go ahead and display my techno-simpleton thought process for you anyway. For the past 4 years I have had a cell phone and a land line, as well as wireless internet in the house. Gradually, I have moved from using the land line to using the cell. I don't talk on the phone much in general and never exceed my minutes. I email or facebook instead. My extended family lives on the East coast and I live in the Pacific time zone making evening phone calls difficult. And my three girls sometimes make phone calls any other time of day difficult as well! So, I canceled my land line and long distance services. It will save me $24 for the land line and $3 base charge for the long distance service (+ whatever minutes I used each month). So, that doesn't sound like very much but it adds up to $324 per year. I can think of better things to do with $324 than having a phone sit on the kitchen counter that I don't need. For example I could spend the money renting a cabin for a weekend, or paying for more ballet for the girls, or paying for holiday gifts, or 4 massages, or 108 lattes, or spending a night in the closest big city -- Seattle. I need to keep reviewing my bills so I can find more $324 savings to enjoy!
