One of our larger monthly expenses that isn’t a total necessity is our family cell phone plan. I keep asking myself why I really need this, versus just having a home phone with voicemail.

So, reasons to get rid of the cell phone:

• Save some green!
• When I’m away from home or the office, I’d actually be *away* from home or the office.
• Less temptation to talk while driving, which would decrease risk on the road.

..and reasons to keep it:

• I like having the internet in my pocket.
• It’s nice to be able to call people from where I am.
• In case of emergency
• Because I want one!!

I knew before I posted this that I wouldn’t be cancelling my phone. I wish I could bring myself to do it.. it was really nice in the “old days” when there wasn’t that constant distraction.
