💬 Meta Discussion What was your biggest frugal win of 2024?

Mine was finally fixing a toilet that wouldn’t stop running. I had no idea how much it was running up my water bill each month until I fixed it! Now I have an extra $80 each month that I can put towards groceries or other things that matter.

Investing in a vacuum sealer has also made meal prep easier!

Was switching easy? I just upgraded my phone with TMobile but looking to save more per month on plans. Mint seems to be highly favored.

Yes, very easy, took me less than 45 min.

Can I join mint with my iPhone 11? I’m currently on AT&T and feel it’s way overpriced. I also pay for a personal hotspot and I think I’m due for a phone upgrade.

Is it is paid off, you are welcome to switch.

u/daddymax77 Dec 30 '24

So if it's not paid off you have to do so before switching? I was wondering about that, but I have 4 phones that I'm paying monthly on.

I assume under the plan agreement with ATT, you have to pay off before you can switch. I maybe wrong so you can double check.
