The Basics:
In the 21st century a landline phone is the equivalent of the horse and carriage. With the advent of cell phones and more importantly smart phones there really is nothing you can do with a landline that you cannot do on a cell phone. There are some however who like the security of having a landline phone in the house and for you there is good news.
There are several ways to get landline phone service for less a fraction of what you used to pay. If you want to save money, get rid of the big phone and cable corporations and take a look at these options.
When most people talk about their finances they talk about how much money they want to make or have. Being "rich" or having a lot of income is a great thing, but there is far too little discussion about debt. If you make a million dollars but have two million dollars worth of debt you are actually in worse shape than 90% of Americans. In fact you are in worst shape than a person who makes minimum wage and has no debt. 
Congratulations! You've just got your first white collar job. No more asking "do you want fries with that?". You're now moving up the business ladder, working in an office environment with big hopes for the future. 
When many families go through their monthly bills they find that cable TV is one of the biggest household expenses. Only a few decades ago cable was a great new thing that exposed people to channels and programming never seen before. Over the last 10 or 15 years however cable has been monopolized by a few major companies (think Comcast) and have forced millions of people to buy into overpriced bundles of services and channels that we don't really need.
For many, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the the word "drive-in" is a 1950's car with two young teenagers watching a black and white movie. It is true that drive-ins reached the peak of their popularity in the 50's and 60's but they still exist today and many people still use them.
In the 21st Century most Americans cannot live without their cell phones and rightfully so. The cell phone is the simplest and most efficient way to always be in communication with friends and family, and it is a necessary device to have in case of emergency when traveling, driving or just performing day-to-day functions. The problem is that the major carriers (Sprint, At&T, etc.) know this and are substantially overcharging users. 
49.1 million Americans are below the poverty line —$24,343 for a family of four. An additional 51 million are in the new category “near poor”; those with incomes less than 50 percent above the poverty line
