Another net10 fan here. I got the unlimited deal and even tho I may not always need it, the savings are still substantial and not having to worry about overages or bills is sweet too! I'm looking at making further reductions in my budget this year and the idea of writing everything down is excellent, too. Thanks! Aha! Another net10 fan here.

Very realistic too. May I share my experience? This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me: For three months I wrote down everything I spent. Every penny. Same with hubby. Then we looked for things to cut. DVD rentals? Cut. Went to the library or traded with friends. Premium cable TV? Cut. We rarely watched enough to justify. Get the idea? We also looked at our phone bills. We dumped the home phone and the expensive cellphones and got Net10 phones instead. We pay only for what we use at 10¢ a minute and 3¢ a text. Our bills are gone, since we get none! and there are no overaqes or surprises, either. We also eat out less, and consolidate our shopping trips. The point is that you can find all sorts of things to cut so you can get more for your money. Excellent. Very realistic too.

It might cost you a couple a boxes of screws. That is, unless you're planning on having kudzu vines hold your furniture together. I hear they're pretty strong.
