Question by okiemom09: help me lower my bills!?
I want to know if it is even possible to lower my bills
these are my monthly nills
house, ins, tax-800.00
vehicle #1 560.00(30k @ 9.79%)
vehicle # 2 no payment
vehicle 1&2 insurance 160
credit card minimum payment 20.00
cell phone 70.00 for 2 phones
internet 35.00-only internet service the serves our area
electricity 200(1200 sq feet mobile home)
gas 120
groceries 300 for 2 adults and 1 baby
student loans 200

Husband and I are selling our home and moving somewhere else. Our payment currently is 735 but will go up to 800-not bad for leaving a mobile home and getting a new brick house but we figure he has to make 24.00 an hour to have enough money to pay bills after taxes are taken out.
Is there anything I can do with any of these bills?
we already cancelled out dish-30.00
trashcan-45.00(we now just use his work dumpster)
we lowered our cell phones from 90 to 70
we lowered out internet from 55 to 35
yes we do have permission, lol
Oh yea bout the 560.00 car payment. We tried to sell it, trade it in and so on but we owe 30k and they only wanted to give us 23K! It is a 08 durango very basic

Answer by bobchadwick99
find an amount that you’re able to pay for all of your bills combined. then pay the minimum payments on all of your accounts, except for the one with the highest interest rate. use whatever is left over after making the minimum payments, to pay that bill. when that one is paid off, move on to the one with the next highest interest rate. keep doing that until they’re all paid off.

edit: and be careful using that dumpster; you’ll probably get in trouble if you get caught.
