Since we use or technology so much today, and because tech like smartphones can do so many things so well, I find myself gravitating toward publishing save money tips that help you get the very best deal on the latest devices, or chances to help you win one for free. To that end, here is a deal you must take a look at if you’ve been thinking about upgrading to Android: the Droid X2 from Motorola is one of the hottest smartphones out there in 2011. It’s got a dual-core processor, an 4.3 inch screen and an 8 MP camera, which is borderline unbelievable. So the question is, why would you pay for it if you could enter to win one? You know the deal; you will have to give them some information, but this is another one of those save money deals that is worth applying for in my opinion.

Okay look, it’s 2010 and for anyone who has not actually make the necessary change to take advantage of this next Save Money Tip yet, I’d like to run over the reasons why you should, so that you can take a hard look at your reasons for why you have not done so. Telephone expenses are not the biggest monthly bills you have, but they are constant expenditures, and when you have monthly expenses that will be spread over the rest of your life, it really behooves you to analyze them closely and try to reduce them if you can.

My basic suggestion here would be to ask yourself if you really need that landline telephone that you’re still paying for. You know that you would save hundreds of dollars a year if you are able to live without it. Is there anything about your present home telephone that could not be accomplished just as easily with your cell phone? Of course I’m assuming that you have a cell phone, because my argument here really centers on the undesirability of paying for something like having a telephone line, twice each month. I think that for most people who still have landline telephones getting rid of them seems like a big step, but would be one of those ways of saving money where after you did it, you wish you had done it years earlier.

Some of the best ways for saving money generally are by eliminating duplicate expenses, that we have developed over time without really realizing it. Old habits die hard, as they say, and they develop a momentum over time. But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t change our ways when another method becomes available. Saving money by eliminating your landline is a perfect example of this. It may sound like a radical step in the name of saving money, but just look at how many times you actually use your landline phone in the course of a week, and how many times those calls could have been taken just as easily on your cell phone. I have taken this step, and frankly I’ve never spoken to anyone who has decided to save money this way, who regrets it.
