I realized recently that I can retire from my job in 2 1/2 years and draw a pension of about $3000/month. I never thought I would want to do that, but now I really do. My son is 10 and we home school, my mom has alzheimer's, just lots of personal reasons I'd like to stop working. I found this site recently and started to wonder if maybe it really is possible.
One thing I've realized immediately is that my living expenses are too high. My house payment is $1764, my internet service is $149, my cell phone is $180, my electric bill is $600 . . .I could go on and on. Reading here, I can see I could do lots better so here's my first question.
I tried to read everyone's posts about internet service, but I still can't seem to get started. I'm way out in the country, and my only option seems to be satellite internet. For my $149, I get 25G/month and we always almost go over our limit.
I checked ATT, they will only do DSL, and they won't guarantee the quality since I'm 1/2 mile off the road.
Any ideas?
