I was finally able to do a year end financial evaluation for myself for 2010. There are some shocking revelations. I spend $2,500 for entertainment. In my defense, I listed all the phone-bill as entertainment. Because of being married, I spend a total of $917 on phone bill. I spend $88 on movies for the entire year. $7 on Redbox. Those are all part of that $2,500. I spend $2,000 on personal care. Fro things like shaving cream, hair-cut, razors, face-creme, etc. Holy smokes. I lived like a friggin' king. I'm going to have to tighten the belt a whole bunch.

Phone bill own be as much. I promise. I hate talking on the phone anyways. I'm sure the wife will call Bangladesh a lot when she comes here. I'm going to budget tell the wife to that she can call as much as she wants as long as the yearly total ends up being 300. No more. Skype is her friend. Definitely going to cut back on entertainment. And I'm going to stop buying expensive sh*ts for my face. I'm already married. Don't need to maintain my baby-face 'nymore. From now on, warehouse brand lotion and shampoo.

IS,

Get your wife Metro PCS, for $60.00 plan she can talk Dhaka and chittagong any T&T line for free( Not cell phone included). She can call also 35 country for free like UK, AUS, CANADA...etc.

I got my Anroid with Metro pcs..for $60.00 plan...no hidden charge/ flat rate..I call free to my wife.....Thanks metro pcs Sh**!!( sometimes):star:

My family isn't from Dhaka or Chitagong. So that's not going to help. I heard Cricket has a $65 plan that's unlimited to one country. But even that is too expensive. She'll have to use Skype. We'll ask her parents to hock up broadband so she can do web-cam.

Well, I'll remind you if I'm still going. Now to a serious matter. I shipped something using USPS back in April or May. I forgot. It cost me $62 to ship. And the total value of the package was like $300. I bought insurance for the package. The package never arrived. I filled out a claim with USPS. They said they'll let me know something in 14 days. I didn't hear anything back from anyone. Should i ask them to pay me the fee and the value back? I mean I did buy the insurance for this very reason.
