It’s amazing how your bills add up isn’t it? We always stuck with a pay as you go phone so that we could limit the amount we spent. You just need to examine everything you spend and see if there’s a way you can cut down. There’s definitely hope! Good luck with it!

You guys are on to something here…

I’ve just worked out that I spend £420 a year on my mobile phone bill. That goes up to £575 when I add on the cost of insuring the phone!

Recently I’ve been itching to go travelling again, but since joining the grown up world of work, rent, bills and a car, saving seems impossible. After reading this I’m getting a slight glimmer of hope!

I completely understand that feeling. In the end we ended up dumping a load of stuff off at the charity shop. That was particularly hard with many many books we couldn’t sell, but we don’t regret it at all. A Kindle makes so much more sense that bookshelves full of heavy books anyway. Good luck!

I don’t know where you live, but in Portland, OR there is a service that hauls away your unwanted stuff… the company is called JUNK.

I’m not there yet, but I’m downsizing, big-time. It’s kind of a pain; sometimes I wish I could just hire somebody to Get. Rid. of. it. All. Maybe someone should start a service?

I recently posted about the same thing: http://www.50plusandontherun.com/2011/10/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-dumpster.html

Good luck to you guys!

I’m intrigued. I’ve been having an itch to “free” myself from personal possessions, and this might be the inspiration I need! Thanks!
