At NewSpring Church, we are able to provide FREE one-on-one financial counseling for hundreds of people each year. I have a crew of awesome volunteer financial counselors who help people develop a plan that works! I love it!

One thing we have all seen is the fact that over HALF of the people that we meet with no longer have a home phone. They have dumped the home phone and are using their cell phones instead.

For those who still have a home phone, I am seeing a cost ranging from $35 to $50/month.

Let's think about this in a larger way.

$50/month = $600/year

How much money do you need to earn to bring home $600? Think about it. If you want to bring home $600 extra in your paycheck, you will need to earn something like $900.

So … By getting rid of the home phone, you are giving yourself a $900/year raise!

I LOVE giving myself pay raises!
