Monthly Bills

Lowering your monthly bills is an excellent way to save money!

Five things one can do to lower their monthly bills:

1)      Look at your budget, review your monthly bills, and ask yourself “Do I really need this?”

a)      I know you love your movie packages, sports, and children’s television packages, but do you really need them?

b)      You may like the temperature in your house to be perfect, but is it really that hard to turn off the heater and where a sweater, or to turn off the air conditioner and wear a tank-top?  Do you really need to run the heater or air conditioner all of the time

2)      Call your utility companies and see if they have discounts available or suggestions on what you could do to lower your bill.

a)      Many companies have discount programs available, and rebates offered.

3)      Call your insurance companies (home, vehicle, etc.) and ask them to review your policies.  

a)      Many companies do not automatically lower your rates when new programs or discounts become available.

4)      Have you looked into the new “bundle packages” many companies are offering?

a)      Bundle Packages combine your phone, Internet access, and TV service into one package effectively lowering most rates by approx. 5-10%.

5)      Pay your bills on-time.  Don’t waste your money paying late fees.
