What I’m Able to Save So Far.
Since I’ve started this blog a month ago I’ve looked at ways to save money to help pay down my debt. Here is what I’ve come up so far:
- Cable TV - $63.75 a month
- Broadband Internet - $18 a month
- Satellite TV - $62.94 a month
- Car Insurance - $35 a month
- Eating breakfast at home and bringing lunch to work - $180 a month.
That totals to $359.69 a month, not bad. That’s $4,316.28 in a year. From a previous post, I said my goal was to pay off $12,000 of my $25,000 student loans in 1 year. With the money I’m going to save from the above, I’ll only need $7,683.72 to accomplish that goal or $640.31 a month.
There are still a lot of things that I can do to save money, and I’m going to be implementing them in the next couple of weeks.
Looks like I’m going to start making a serious dent in my debt real soon. I’m excited.
Wish me luck!

Check your monthly utilities too. It may not seem much but it’ll still add up. Have a programmable thermostat, CFLs and stock up on groceries when they are on sale. Goodluck!
