Fun and Games Trying to Save Money

I first went to Verizon's web site to check out their Internet access. I gather that I can't get their fiber optic access (which doesn't surprise me, given that I live in the boonies). However, their site was so confusing that I couldn't figure out what my options are. I guess that I'll have to go to their store to talk to them. My other option is Frontier, but it has slow DSL access. (Cheap, though.) I'll sort this out. Fie on Comcast!
I had more luck with AT&T. After having a tough time logging on because they wanted a password and a passcode, and I didn't realize that they were different, and a chat rep had to help me, I checked my data usage, and I was WAY overpaying for data. I knocked $40 a month from my bill, which made it comparable to what I'd pay with Republic Wireless, and I wouldn't have to change phones. Score! I wish that I did this a while ago! (This will cover Mimi's Prozac, which isn't cheap. Sigh.)
I want to subscribe to You Need a Budget to create a budget. It also has a phone app that you can use to check how much money you have in different categories. I want to wait until next month to set it up because it would be easier to set it up when I first get paid, but I can work on the amounts for the different categories. I hope that this helps!
I'm hungry :)
