I think you got some good advice.
For us, I spotted some bills we could reduce immediately. DH was on board with getting rid of the newspaper and land line. That eliminated $1100 right there. Funny how uncomfortable it felt to get rid of the land line, and we kept it longer than we should have. Now, though, I do not regret it a bit.
We have a mobile plan with only 500 minutes between the two of us. So, until we get a different mobile plan, we're being conservative on making calls (making them from our offices if we think we'll be on hold with, say, any of the companies we're contacting in order to change/reduce our bills).
My next item is the mobile phone plan, and I've gotten great advice from this board. Using IP Daley's mobile phone calculator (

So, dig around your expenditures and this forum. You might find some of the changes will not even be that painful to you guys.
For us, we were frugal in terms of vacations, home purchase, car loans--and had no debt beyond our house. However, we'd not spent the time to seek the absolute best deals on cable, phone, land line, etc, etc.
Now, I am going through and starting with the biggest wins to make myself feel great. Then, I will move on to the areas with smaller returns.
