Congratulations and great work! For car insurance, we were recently shocked when we got our renewal from Allstate that was 500 more than last year - no incidents in over 15 years and our car is over 12 yrs old so for no good reason it increased. Did an online search and found that progressive offered us the best deal, avoiding the 500 increase, plus an additional 500 in savings so I would check it out.
For cable, we cut the cord back in 2008, saving 600 per year x 10 years in Jan will be 6000 base + investment earnings.
Also, we have had no land line since 2000. We use very low cost cell phone service and then if at home, we never use cells, we only use skype that is entirely FREE in the US or Google Talk, also FREE. Microsoft headphones for Skype make the sound crysatal celar - they cost ~35-40$ on AMZN and have been well worth it.
Pls keep sharing as we are not retired yet but well on our way and planning in 18 or 19.
