Ways to Lower Your Cell Phone Cost

Let’s see how much we spend on cell phones. I have a $39.99 plan along with a $15 per month data plan for my iPhone. SMB has  a un-smart phone which is $39.99 per month. With discounts, taxes, service charges, we pay $110 per month. Some months the charges get higher. Let’s look at the common causes of higher than normal charge. 1. Data charges when SMB checks her email etc from outside of Wi-Fi area, cost is $1 for up to 1 MB of data. This is frustrating, as when you click on your email icon, even if accidentally, you are slapped with a $1 fee. 2. Cost for test messages. We do not have text plans (which costs $5 per month) rather, we pay for per-use. For At&T it’s 20 cents per text, you receive or you send. That means when you send a text message and get a reply, phone company earn 80 cents, 40 cents from each of the parties. 3. Going over free talk time. It happened only once, few years back when I was frantically taking interviews for a new job.  I went over the free minutes (400 minutes in our case) and paid hefty penalty. I

Every Day Saving: Tips To Save On Parking Fees

I live in a small city, on the outskirts of Miami, I don’t usually have to pay a big buck, other than few coins, to park my car and enjoy the beach. In many other personal Finance blogs, you regularly read posts with tips to save on various expenses. While thinking my way through this; and to put in a brand new perspective towards saving money, this concept of saving on parking fees came to my mind. I remembered how much I paid for parking when I was in NYC last time. I also remembered that I am paying less on parking fees these days. So, I decided to write about parking fees and ways to cut it. I was a tourist in NYC with a rental car, I needed to sight-see the city, I had to park, all city tour buses leave from Times Square. Naturally, I went to time square and started watching out for parking. Many honks after, I finally got the cheapest one with a rate of $30 per hour! Next time, when I went to Boston, I was prepared and saved a lot on parking fees.  Below are few of the tips to save valuable
