Expenses
I'm trying to find ways to cut my expenses more. The money's just not going far enough. I've cut my smoking down to a pack every day and a half. That's down from a carton a week. Let's see, that's about 4 packs a week. I'm looking into cutting my cable-internet-phone bill. It's sitting at $160 a month. I'm with Time Warner Cable and that's just too much. May try lowering the internet speed since I got the fastest to try for the home job at Convergys. Hope it doesn't cut the speed too much for YouTube. I get a lot of entertainment from there. All my entertainment comes from TV and the internet. Thinking about getting MagicJack. I think that's $20 a year? I've checked Grande and AT&T, but they don't have some of the channels I love and Grande isn't any lower. I can't see how I can reduce the food bill any. I'm living on beans, baloney, wieners, Ramen noodles, etc. It looks like any kind of real meat is out and I'll have to rely on the tuna and chicken in the salads I make every week. Some expenses are musts,,,electric, gas, water, and car insurance. I can't see where I can lower the electric. The house is never cool enough. In fact, it was so hot in the bed room tonight I had to put a fan in and still couldn't sleep. The bed room AC is turned on an hour before bedtime and turned off when I get up. The doors to the bed rooms are closed during the day. My thermal curtains need to be replaced. I honestly think they lowered my electric bill at least $20 a month, but I'm not sure about the gas during the winter although it's never warm in the house. Then, there are the prescription drugs. Even though I get them at Walmart, they cost money. Maybe, part of the problem tonight is the money worries. I'm normally asleep now(10:30PM) to be up at 3AM tomorrow. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.
