3. Eliminate storage payments
This one doesn’t apply to everyone, but there are a lot of people that have storage units full of stuff that they don’t need/want. We emptied ours and completely eliminated the $50/month payment. I’ll talk about how we dealt with all of the furniture/stuff in the unit in a later post.
4. Cancel cable/extra channels
We didn’t actually cancel any cable, because I have never paid for it, but it is a great way to cut your monthly expenses. (As an added bonus, you’re less likely to watch TV and will have much more time on your hands.)
Now, it’s not that we don’t watch TV at all. Buying an antenna ($20 tops) allowed us to get the regularly broadcast networks on TV for free. This includes FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC. We also get a couple local channels that have various other shows on them.
Another thing you can do is watch TV shows online. There are a lot of shows available on sites like hulu.com, as well as some of the shows being available on the websites of the TV networks.
