Are You Paying too Much

Today’s challenge will take some effort, but that it will be worth it, since that effort and time will likely save you some cash. When was the last time you reviewed your bills to find out if you are paying too much?

Pull out the following bills and make some phone calls to the competition to find out if better rates are available.

Bills to review:

  • home owners insurance
  • auto insurance
  • life insurance
  • mortgage interest rates
  • cable TV or Just cancel it completely. Find out how we watch great TV without cable.
  • phone service
  • internet service
  • home heating service

My homework:

  • Several years ago we  saved a couple of hundred dollars on home owner’s & auto insurance for the same coverage by switching to a new insurance company. It’s time for me to call around and get some rates to see if we are paying the best price.
  • I also need to make some phone calls to other electric and natural gas companies to compare prices.

When was the last time you shopped around for home owner’s or auto insurance? How much can you save just by making some phone calls? Let us know in the comments.
