Consider dropping the Land Line

This day and age do we really need land lines?

There are some that would say yes.  What if you need one at home for the kids?

In reality, instead of paying an additional $30-$40 for a land line, consider getting a second cell phone (usually for around $10 for the extra line) and have this as a "home" cell phone.

You don't have to change phone numbers if you move.  I've kept the same phone number for years, even though I live in a different state.

911 call centers are actually getting better at handling cell phone calls.  It should be important for your children to know there phone and address.

The only reason this day and age to keep a land line may be for business purposes. 

This is one way of cutting expenses out of your budget.
