With last month's huge wireless/cable bill, we switched to basic cable and slow internet and opted for Netflix. There's now a credit on our cable bill, so no payment to them this month
.
I increased the mortgage to $300/week this month to pay off some of the principle and now just recently switched it back to $155/week. Looks like switching from CFLs to incandescents only cost us about $20 extra a month, so all in all not bad.
