I must have a cellphone for work, I have the cheapest phone and the cheapest plan available and I can call who I need to when I need to I figure I save at least 50 bucks a month over other people
As a person who has learned to incorporate cell phones as a more immediate replacement for the other means of communication you mentioned (email, instant messenger, land lines in fixed locations, or God forbid snail mail) I think I could "fallback" on these older, slower means. I suppose I have forgotten some of the little "tricks" of using them but it would come back to me. So many have no experience with these older technologies.
My top tip for being content with what I've got is to stay away from interior design mags and sites. (A friend of mine calls World of Interiors 'World of Inferiors) And keep clear of Hello magazine and others which do those 'At Home with a Celebrity' type features. Or, if you can't keep clear, take it all with a huge huge pinch of salt.
I'll be the first to admit I couldn't live without my cell phone. I'll begin by saying I have an iPhone so it being a smart phone carries weight. I have my entire to-do list on there, track my finances, use Facebook, Twitter, jot down my thoughts in Evernote, etc. The possibilities are endless. In fact, I have a terrible habit of checking it every 5 minutes. And on top of that, I'm pretty sure I'd be lost in Boston if I didn't have the GPS...
Cooked left-over Jasmine Rice with milk, butter & salt & pepper, heated up in the microwave. Fruit smoothies with protien powder, Hot oatmeal with jam stirred in; but my favorite ( and NOT time consuming...) is home made pancakes and eggs.
I keep the dry ingrediants mixed and measured in bags suited for the size of my household; then mix the wet stuff in ....doesn't take alot of time. I set a cast iron griddle on medium heat when I first walk into the kitchen, so by the time the batter is ready, so is the pan.
As it turns out, cell phones are items we've convinced ourselves we need. I moved to an area that has no cell towers for 30 miles. I felt so liberated when I didn't have to have my cell phone with me anymore. All the things that are on cell phones are also on my wired desktop. I already live 95% of my life without a cell phone. (I do have one for when I travel, but I don't use it that much.)
My home phone and recorder work just fine. I'd have no problem getting by without a cell phone if I needed to. It would be good to have a phone card in case I needed to call long distance.
I can truly say that I have never read so much useful information about 5 Signs That Your Credit Card Spending Is Out of Control | Wise Bread. I want to express my gratitude to the webmaster of this blog.
What is the smartest investment you’ve ever made? I believe it is marriage. I have been married to my husband for 31 years. We have children and grandchildren and we love them all. I have been blessed to have 10 beautiful grandchildren and one soon on the way, any day now. We have a solid relationship due to having God in our lives. We are truly blessed.
The smartest investment I've ever made was getting my law degree. Yeah it cost an arm and a leg to get and a lot of blood sweat and tears but it all paid off in the end.
The smartest investment I've made was my husband's laser eye surgery! He can see so well now. 20/15+! We don't have to worry with glasses or contacts ever again.
the smartest investment I ever made was purchaseing our cabin in the woods outside of Anchorage Alaska. Not only was this a smart investment, it had brought our whole family together in a great way. There is nothing like being deep in the woods with mountains and mother nature without any TV, cell phones, or anything else that we bury ourselves into.

A lot of drug stores, at least the ones where I live, will take your old medications and make sure they are disposed of properly.

I already do live without a cell phone--ten years this summer. There are moments when I'd like to have one, but I like not being constantly available.
If the paint can has the name and formula on it at least save that for the new owner. saves a lot of time for the next person.

The smartest investment I ever made was getting a college education. If I had not done that, I would not be where I am today! :)

My education has been my greatest investment. It has produced many opportunities for me.
Can somebody tell me, how to make Sony DVP-NS915V region free?

My smartest investment was my college education. After I got a BS, I kept going and got an MS. They helped me make a decent living all my life.
