What a great way for us to share our thoughts and ideas! I have enjoyed the class so much and have already made big adjustments in my finances. Thank you Nathan for facilitating this class. Also, just wanted to share that I was able to cut my home phone (AT&T) bill almost in half by just calling them and adjusting some things. They seem to be having a special on internet rates now, even for existing customers, that will shave your monthly bill significantly. I am actually having fun and making a game out of seeing how I can creatively shave my monthly bills...so far I'm at $50+ and still counting! woohoo!!
