What will you do if you were in a situation like this?

Would you cancel your phone service to save $63 a month?

I have been doing a serious planning with my finance. Before the New Year, I and my girlfriend sat together and tried to find out ways of some serious saving. We thought we will cancel our home phone service first because we hardly use it. We both have our own mobiles and the home phone number is just lying on the shelf. Well, sometimes, it does help to have a third phone when one of us is not at home and one of the cell got damaged. But we were seriously thinking about reducing our monthly expenses and $63 just for this home phone of no serious use sucks?

We decided that we will wait for the school year to finish and by that time we will find out those contacts that only have the home phone numbers. We will give them our cell phone numbers to them so that this phone can be disconnected.

Well, its time now that the school year has come to an end and we both are sitting together and debating with each other. The home phone number is still there lying on the shelf. But in all honesty, we just don’t use our home phone and the savings could help expedite debt reduction. So, we both are really not sure what to do next. I guess we better have to make a decision. What would you do if you were in a situation like this?

Day care rates are going up!

Our biggest monthly expense goes towards the day care. We are shocked that this monthly expense is going up by the end of this month?!!

We have two kids, one is 4 years and the other one is 3 years old. They are soon going to start their kindergarten in the next couple of years. Today only, I got a notice from the day care that they are raising the monthly fees. It sucks!! Right now, it costs us $295/week and starting next month, it’s going to cost us $324/week. This is certainly a pretty big jump. It seems like we are dealing with some mafias with all the institution rules and additional fees.. ugh!!
