My buddy and I like to save money…
My best friend is not a cheapskate. He is frugal but not cheap. We actually influence each other in our financial dealings. He likes saving money and so do I. So whenever I discover something that could help him save money, I try to encourage him to take it on as well. For example, if I find a good deal on cable subscription — he’s usually the first one I call and we will both switch cable companies.
In his case, he does the same thing. We deal with anything financial together including our investments. He is very generous, don’t get me wrong but we both like saving money and will go far if we need to just so we can stretch the value of our money. One time he called me and told me that I should switch my standard phone service to VoIP. This new technology could save me tons of cash in the long run because they provide unlimited long distance calls to Canada and Puerto Rico. I pay 25.00USD for my basice service with Verizon today and that doesn’t even include all the amenities VoIP provide like free caller ID, call waiting, etc. These are all included if I switch to VoIP service.
Most VoIP companies even offer promotions like free for the first month so you can test it out. No commitments, just test it out and let me know what you find. My buddy is very pleased with his VoIP service that he recommends that I switch. Hey, with a free first month of service and lower monthly rates – why not?
