We pay less than $10 for internet (it is cheap b/c it is thru my home based business company and it is slow) - I pay for it with my $$ from my business

Other than that we do not have anything else. Dh's job pays for his cell phone. We decided not to renew my prepaid Tracphone....

our cell phone is 40.00 a month.
right now activities for dd but soon for skating it will be 70.00 for a 3 month period.
sattelite is about 70.00 we could cut it back to 50.00 but we really enjoy the movie channels that we get for the extra 20.00 amonth. it actually saves us money from renting the movies. and our l;andline is only 40.00 a month. we have no gymmemberships or anything like that.

well the only monthly things we have is

internet 21.95(not willing to give up my only source of entertainment and contact with relatives long distance)

land line phone is 28.00 a month i only have basic and caller id(not willing to go without caller id)

we have no cell phone but are thinking of getting one of the prepaid ones for emergencies..

that is all the extras we have i don't want to cut those two things from our budget i figure we don't get cable tv we don't eat out so internet is our splurge.

I don't have a cell phone so really the only set monthly bill is phone/cable/internet. That's $100. Thought about eliminating cable, but 1- DH loves it when he is home and 2- costs more to just do phone/internet

I have the girls in a MDO program that lets us work rather than pay tuition so that's what I do. Granted, I then don't get my day off every week, but I figure its worth it to work 1 day a month and have 3 others free

Preschool: $0 (thank you, Florida VPK program)
Internet/Cable: $90 (won't be giving up either)
Phone: $20 (I am always thinking of giving this up!)
Cell Phones (2): $85 (this includes all our long distance and two phones - we use a lot of long distance)
Gym: $30 (never ever thought I would have it, but I love it! I paid it in full so it is much cheaper than normal)
Netflix: $12 (love it, too!)

We only have cell phone payment which is around 100 a month, give or take Which I would like to lower but I use a lot of daytime minutes and since we don't have a landline its our only phone so its cheaper to pay for more minutes than to go over on a smaller plan.

We are going to add cable and internet very soon though. I don't care about the cable, I work full time and then am busy when I get home, I really only watch CSI & Grey's Anatomy anyway but dh insists for all the junk he likes. Oh well

I have the internet at work (where I am right now) But I'm going to take online classes next fall so I'll need it at home too.
