February Goals:

Rent
Investigate other rental options....consider moving to another town, would like to pay about $400 less per month or $4800 per year!

Energy
Pay on time, spent over $10 in late charge = $10/per mo or $120 per year!....pay by mail.....will save me $2.53 per mo. or $30.36 per year!

Water
Drop off payment instead of by phone or mail....save $2 per mo...or $24 per year!

My cell and daughter's cell.....investigate other plans. Would at least like to get them below $100 per mo. saving us $53.64 per mo or $643.68 per year.

Delilah's Heartguard
She can get the same pill for $63.99/12= $5.33 each from PetMeds. w/free shipping saving me $4.67 per mo. or $56.04 per year.

The changes possibly made this month will make a savings of $5454.08 per year....shoot that's a new car or almost payoff my school debt so I can go back full time...wow! Increase my income about $50 per month and I will have saved $6000! Now that's a goal!






I don't have cable.
I need a converter box and called the 1800 line for a coupon for $40 off, they ran out of funding for the coupons but will send me one if they get more funding.

I use my cell phone.
Daughter has unlimited nights and weekends - $50 mo. and I have unlimited unlimited because I use my phone for money making activities as well as personal - $80 per month.
