Advice

This guest post from Edgardo Rosa

When my husband and I recently met with our financial advisor, he had some interesting advice for us—take a look at all of our expenses and see where we could cut costs. That doesn’t seem like an interesting piece of advice from a financial advisor, obviously, but the part that surprised us was that he wanted us to look at some of our much smaller expenses that we would have never thought about otherwise. He wanted us to look at the big things first, of course, but then he wanted us to go all the way down to things like our cable service. I didn’t even know you had a choice in your cable provider, honestly. He pointed out that by going to http://www.cabletelevision.net/ to see what our different options were, we could possibly save a little bit of money every month. I’m not one to turn down a little bit of free money, so we took his advice. Turns out he was right. I sort of wish we had thought of this incredibly easy way to save money without having to actually pay him money. It seems a little counterproductive.
