Last week, I sat down and tortured myself by making two calls that I had no interest in dealing with.
First, I called Cox. I hate every single second of dealing with the cable company. I've already managed to save a fair amount from my bill. I returned a second rarely used cable box and that shaved about $11 from the bill. I spent twenty minutes dealing with a pleasant man. I didn't save a ton, but I saved a little bit more. $4. So that's about $15 each month. $180 for the year. I'll take it.
Then I called Verizon. I hate dealing with them more than Cox. Way more. I just wanted to lower my text plan since I talk to almost everyone over BBM. That would save me $5 per month. It turned out that I may be eligible for a work discount. So I have more investigating to do on Monday. That will be a nice discount if it is still valid. So we'll see. For now $5 off. $60 per year.
$240 saved with a couple of quick phone calls. Yay.

Don’t look at it as a small amount – technically, it’s $240 more than you had before the telephone calls….
