I had been debating for a while on whether to make the switch to Republic Wireless. I’m about a year into this new minimalist life, and I’ve been slowly adopting more and more brilliant ideas from blogs I follow, yours among them. After careful consideration, and much internal debate, I finally ditched AT&T after nearly two decades. I made the switch to Republic Wireless, and my bill dropped by more than $75/month. I love it! I’m very grateful for your no nonsense approach and the wealth of information you share in your blog. And, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to make the switch.

Helluva testimonial for our community – thanks man! And remember that it TAKES ACTION to actually make it happen, so make sure to pat yourself on the back too as that’s the hardest part of the game ;) No action = no point to any of this stuff!

Since finding J, MMM, and ERE I went from an in debt consumer sucka to a 6 figure student loan paid off, a 5 figure car loan paid off, and 10 more payments left on mortgage (a 30 year mortgage that will be paid off in 6 years.) The value of finding average people willing to share their raw data with the world is tremendous. It takes the fear out of investing. Finance is a topic no one will talk about or your friends will lie about, but here you can see the truth. I was down X% or I was up X%, let me check on J. Oh, he was too so we’re all doing pretty well riding the Index wave and picking up savings tips as we go. These three guys have exponentialy changed my life. We could always use more!

I have unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 1 GB data for 14/month. It is easy to stay under 1 GB by utilizing wifi at any opportunity. It seems like Republic Wireless uses this same technique. I was even able to use my current iPhone with their service! Their customer service is great– super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend them!

Haha, yup! And if you’re already taking the time to email people back, might as well amplify the productivity and share it around with others who might be wondering about the same things too. Win-win! :)

Pretty much any financial question can be answered with a solid blog post from this awesome community.

Cheers!

Yeah, I needed a new phone and pixel 3 is supposed to have some crazy software attached to its camera. Basically takes a decent camera photo and makes it look like you are a professional or at least know somewhat how best to take pictures. Crazy what they can do with software. I also like the screening service for telemarketers. Having a robot ask them to state their business is pretty cool too. I keep my phones for 3 years so I usually buy a decent one at purchase time and $600 for a flagship phone and $200 service credit isn’t bad at all. Its like paying $400 for the phone.
