TV -- I watch very little but, I still work so not "home" to. But, not a big TV person, maybe news or a couple reruns. Don't have cable and won't pay for satellite. So, if it won't show up via the plain old antenna, I don't get it.
I used to keep a land line but gave it up when all I used it for was to call my cell to find it. LOL Hey, $20 is $20 for gas.
I am reshopping my internet provider next week. Hope to cut that bill way down. It isn't use, but the standard monthly fee. I need less and want to pay less.
Certainly talk with an agent on the health insurance. Before you go, make a list of questions and a list of meds you all may be using, health issues to address -- pre-exsisting or maybe needed -- and know that medicare has co pays without limits. So, an annual out of pocket may sound big until you have a situation and there is NO limit. Many of the "Advantage" plans can provide at less cost than a "supplement" plan will. In other words, think about monthly cost vs what you may pay for a co-pay. I have a friend who spends almost $300 a mo for a supplement & dental. But if she switched she would have a small co-pay on her diabetic meds. I asked her why pay $300 for NO co-pay when the co-pay would be less than $20 per month? She's seeing her agent. LOL
Know what you need to cover, then compare totals. Plans differ in various locations.
I switched. 9 yrs of never using, just paying medicare. For same money I will now have dental, vision and OTC buying covered. $200 annual on glasses + a free exam, 2 free dental cleanings, exams, plus $300 per qtr for any dental work -- which can roll into next qtr with a use or lose at end of yr, and $175 per qtr OTC purchases, same roll and use/lose as dental. Hey, that is $2K a yr I could use, same premium. Oh, Silversneaker included, too. I have 2 YMCAs close, I'm excited. I will never have to pay for band aids, Alleve, toothpaste, shampoo, vitamins, etc...again!
