Rescue Your Paycheck: Renegotiate Your Bills & Save Big

Now that you know when to strike, let’s talk about which bills to target. While you can negotiate almost any bill, here are some that typically offer the most wiggle room:

• Cable and Internet: These providers often have lots of competition, giving you leverage.
• Cell Phone Plans: With new plans and promotions constantly rolling out, there’s usually room for improvement.
• Insurance (Auto, Home, Life): Shopping around annually can yield significant savings.
• Gym Memberships: Especially if you’re considering cancelling, gyms may offer better rates to keep you.
• Credit Card Interest Rates: If you have a good payment history, you’d be surprised how often you can get a lower rate just by asking.

To make your bill-slashing journey even easier, here are some tools that can help:

2. Truebill (affiliate link): Another great app that helps you track and lower your recurring bills.
3. BillShark (affiliate link): They negotiate bills for you and only charge if they save you money.
