It's always interesting to me when members come into the credit union to discuss their bills and they just can't figure out why they can't get ahead, yet they have premium cable, go for pedicures every other week, and then eat out all the time. But, my favorite is when you point it out to them and they get all affronted. If you want to get out of debt bad enough, you'll make some sacrifices. Cable's the easiest. Keep your thoughts coming!

Who needs 'em? I haven't had a land line phone for almost five years. I'm about to cut cable (when my housemates move out--they LOVE it) and can't wait to stop paying my share of this stupid bill. <a href="http://fitwallet.blogspot.com/2009/01/turning-off-tv.html" rel="nofollow">I just cut TV out of my evening routine</a> as "practice," and already I've gotten so much done. I can't even believe it! I couldn’t agree more about cutting the land line phone and cable. Who needs ‘em? I haven’t had a land line phone for almost five years.

Between OTA HD stations, Netflix, and online content, we'll save $30-60 per month. I'm not going to say that I don't miss FoodTV, TLC, and Discovery Channel, but I'll assure you that we get by just fine. Cutting the cable is a GREAT way to trim your bills.
