8 Totally Useless Things That We Buy Anyway
Money-wasting expenses come in all forms, and the losses can pile up quickly. Keep these items in mind as you overhaul your expenses.
1. Landline phone service
More than half of U.S. households rely exclusively on cell service, and for good reason: Though comforting and familiar, a landline telephone isn't really necessary in today's world. Not only does its utility begin and end at your doorstep, the costs of maintaining it are comparable to cellphone plans with additional perks. For example, AT&T's top-tier landline plan provides unlimited national calling for $32.99 per month. Fair enough, but Virgin Mobile's basic cellphone plan comes with unlimited talk, text, and data for $50 a month, all of which you can use from anywhere. Ditch the additional cost and become a single service household.
