America today is heading in a new direction. We have emerged from a nation that didn't care to spend extra money on our wants even when we didn't have enough for our needs to a nation that is starting to scrutinize our spending habbits. I honestly think this is a good thing. Yesterday's spendthrift has evolved into today's haggler - only the smart ones atleast.
Well, here are a couple of things to consider in haggling.
* Call up your local cable, phone, internet, cell phone company.
Hit the option * Close my account *which should lead you to the retention department. Tell them you are thinking of canceling. (do this whether you are under contract or not) Act as if you may not have an option to cancel and may be willing to pay a fee if necessary to cancel. In most cases, with todays ecomomy --- you can request to have your monthly bill lowered, get free additonal services and/or equiptment. With the way the economy is today --- sometimes you don't even have to ask --- they offer you the savings and/or freebies without asking!
