Payday

May 1st, 2008 at 01:34 am

Today was payday and I paid my cell phone, car note and internet bill; and it seems like I am broke again. Cell phone was extremly high because people keep text messaging and I have asked that they not do that so I am going to have to take action and have them blocked. I paid an extra $100 on the car, I figure if I do that I can get the principal down before I apply for the home mortgage. I am also going to apply for refinancing today to try and get a much better rate. $30 went to EF, $50 to house fund, $50 to IRA and $10 misc. account
This months spending...really bad this month

    Just have the text messaging feature removed from your plan. That's what I did. It really adds up.

    I'm not a habitual user of my cell phone and I use a "pre paid plan" and at .15 for each message, plus the $1.00 fee per day when I DO use my phone it was really eating up my time when people (who I had asked many times not to text me) would text me, since you can't tell who they are from til you read them. I've just gotten know where I ignore them then delete them en mass.

    I hate that with the text messaging. I have text on my phone included in my plan, but most of my friends don't, so I just make it a point not to text them. Can you remove the texting feature all together on your phone?
