Time to play devil's advocate as usual.
Ive said this before (so many times)... yet nobody ever believes me so i'll say it again.
When you start posting on other websites... you will learn that this website (LIF) is the EXCEPTION to the rule.
You post a story on LIF... and yeah its the norm to get tons of hugs icons and stuff. This website is very defending of their own and will rarely (IMO) give somebody the honest truth.
But you post what you post to 95% of the other forums out there.... and you will get the response you got.
Why do you ask? Why not.
You vented about your money problems and frankly people gave you HONEST advice.
Whats wrong with cutting out your cell phones? You can dial 911 from any cellphone for saftey reasons even if it doesn't have "activated service".
Cable is very expensive... and if money is tight that should be eliminated too because its a very expensive monthly bill. My wife I believe told me you can get basic cable for under $20 buks a month... yet a lot of people have bills way over $100.
You are probably tight for money right now cause you bought new cars instead of used. Hell... June262004 will preach on and on that there are plenty of good RELIABLE used cars that are not prone to break down (HONDA) and she is right.
Maybe I am putting it in a "nicer tone" than that website did.
Just remember that LIF and LIW is the exception to the norm... and if you can't take somebody being dead honest with you... I suggest you don't browse other forums.
Just my two cents.
Thanks soooo much. That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was not trying to look for pity, but looking to see if anyone has ever been in my situation. I TOTALLY understand every idea and will try and cut most of the "luxury" expenses. My cable bill on LI, WITH internet is $105. I don't have HBO, SHO or any of those channels. The only "extra" I pay for is Starz and Encore and I only started that because I wanted the food channel, which they now include AND raised the price. Some woman actually wanted me to just use an antenna!! My dh laughed at that. HE is the main person who watches TV besides the kids and I enjoy it too but can find other things to do besides it (like cleaning-lol!!).
My dh's car is a 1999 off a 2 year lease and mine is a 2004. This is the first time in the 17 years that we have known each other that we have good, reliable cars. With 2 kids, I can not afford to get stuck in a car.
The reason we got in most of our money troubles was that my dh would take $20 here and $20 there for gas, food, etc. that was not in our budget. I too, have bought clothes and household items that was over too so I just can't blame him.
Thanks again and THAT is what I was out to find, someone who could suggest things and NOT berate me like a child!!
exactly...there is a way to speak to someone without putting them down, and I cannot stand these people who spend 10 hours a day online who think talking or being nasty in general is a way of life and OK because its on the internet.
Its ok to disagree etc but have a little bit of respect for people in general..thats really not to much to ask IMO.

Ok.... PLEEEEEAAASSSSEEEE... the cable company... its called CABLEVISION.
And guess what... my wife works there!
Broadcast Basic: $14.68/mo
There... just told.
Oh... and the original poster did say her bill was over $100 a month... so I guess I was right about that as well.

If this is your problem.... get a program that will track your expenses (like Quicken or Money). I just started doing this last month and its AWESOME.
I never realized where my cash was going every month and now I know. It has helped me curtail some unnecessary spending.

NOW, they are talking about making homemade bean bags as gifts!!! Small little ones!! I am not trying to be a snob, but what is with these people. I wonder if they realize how much it costs to go to a wedding around here. Should I ask them??!!-lol
the only website i know that sounds like this is C***M**
people actually tell you, that you are a greedy b**ch if you spend more than $30 on pair of shoes or jeans, that if you have that much money to fork over for a pair of shoes, you should be donating it.
and wedding costs... lets not get started with that..

I think the person who bumped this is just trying to highlight the fact that you are a hypocrite. If you can't take the heat....

tell, tell, tell!!
Just so everyone knows.....Basic Cable through Cablevision (just television services) channels 2-21 including Channel 500 costs about $17 per month. I know this because I had it for over a year. It was great!! Would love to go back to it but since I like having internet access, it's cheaper for me to do the triple play. Now that I have the luxury of internet and more than 13 channels, it would be very hard to go back to that but I do know that if we had to, we would and we'd deal with it.
Just realized, this thread is just about drama! That's what I get for taking the time to respond to a thread! Duh!
