I thought I'd mention though that the links to your husband's site (here and in the introduction) do not work. I know I’m late to the party but I’m enjoying this series a lot.

Glad I could help. It's always better to make these decisions while you still have the day job rather than have the realization after you quit. Good, Amanda. Glad I could help.

I don't like not knowing where or when my next paycheck's coming. I've seen my account dive into the red one too many times for that.

Thanks for the tip. Dean and I don't have cell phone issues at all, but we rarely use ours--and we don't have kids. So I'm sure this will help folks who get that occasional surprise. (I have encountered shady billing practices, however, most recently from Verizon.) What a great post, Dylan. Thanks for the tip. Dean and I don’t have cell phone issues at all, but we rarely use ours–and we don’t have kids. So I’m sure this will help folks who get that occasional surprise. (I have encountered shady billing practices, however, most recently from Verizon.)

I actually wanted to respond to a tiny part of your overall piece--surprisingly large cell bills. I thought I'd mention that there are ways to use the internet to soften the monthly blow of the cell bill that you might want to check out if you haven't already. One blog called http://www.fixmycellbill.blogspot.com/ constantly tracks new ways to cut wireless costs and exposes shady billing practices utilized by the cell phone companies. Also, take a look at the consumer advocacy website where I (admittedly) work, http://www.fixmycellbill.com , that slashes the average cell bill by 22 percent. Through the site, which is powered by a company called Validas, we have currently audited over 26,000 cell lines and have saved consumers over $5 million off their wireless bills. You can see Validas in the national news media, most recently on Good Morning America at http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=6887412&page=1. Good luck to everyone reading on lowering your expenses in this tough economy to achieve the financial freedom to get the career you want. Dylan Kristine, nice article; those are some great tips.
