Saving even more money each month on an already tight budget!

Hello, 

I just wanted to share my success in lowering my monthly bills this year! I hate monthly bills, especially the ones that I cannot pay off (reverse passive income). I have very minimal monthly expenses and always pay for things up front when I can. That being said every year I try to negotiate new deals or find ways to save money on monthly expenses. I just got off the phone with my internet provider and reduced my internet bill from $75.72 a month to $30.93 a month for 15 minutes worth of work (10 minute hold time)!! I called the loyalty line and said "my brother lives down the street and is paying $35/month for internet", which is true! and they said they could offer me a rate of $30.93 if I do autopay (which I prefer anyways). 

Another thing I did was have my A/C coils cleaned and repaired along with a leak being fixed for $300. After a little less than my first month I went from $321.26 to $286.77 ($34.49 savings) and that's during the hottest month. 

Next I will work on my cell phone bill! If anyone has any other ideas on how to cut bills I would love to hear them. 

Thank you in advance! 

-John
