I saved big on my FPL bill and I was able to cut my cell phone bill nearly in half when I swtiched from AT&T to Straight Talk. Seriously, I just went from paying nearly $100 a month with my IPhone to now paying $45 a month for a Samsung Finesse and I have unlimited calls, internet, and texting without a contract. It totally pays to shop at WalMart (the only place where you get the plan) because I heard a woman discussing buying one for her son and I couldn't believe how much was saving. Cancelling with AT&T was worth it since I figured out that with Straight Talk I will be saving nearly $1,200 over two years. Best of all, I was able to keep my number and keep in touch with my family on the Verizon network. It's the best switch I'll probably make all year - you should give it a try.

Good to see you're having more success than I am. Even if you did spend what you saved, spending it on exercise will pay off many times over in terms of emotional/medical benefits. (I need to get back on track in that regard, too.)
