Looking At The Comcast Triple-Play Package For My New Home.

This is where having such amazing readers comes in handy – I need your advice! I am considering signing up for the Comcast Triple-Play package at my new apartment, which consists of internet, VOIP phone, and cable TV with some HD channels. Right now, I have a mish-mash of different providers for all three, and I am looking at A. saving some money and B. consolidating the three down to a single bill each month. However, after hearing so many horror stories about Comcast, I am a little hesitant to pull the trigger on signing up. (Although, I have had more than my fair share of problems with DirecTV, so who knows…) Here is what I currently have as a set up here at my house in New Mexico:

Only 20 more days until I move! I have packed everything I can pack in advance, and am now just waiting to do the rest when the date gets closer.

While I stare at this pile of boxes, check out some articles that caught my eye over this past week:

Money Quote Friday – Man On Base Edition.

“The difference between men and women is that, if given the choice between saving the life of an infant or catching a fly ball, a woman will automatically choose to save the infant, without even considering if there’s a man on base.“ – Dave Barry

Have a great weekend everyone…

Share With Your Neighbors At NeighborGoods.

There is absolutely no reason why everyone in your neighborhood needs their own lawnmower, snowblower or gigantic ladder – why not share the cost with a few close friends? I know I have talked about this stuff before, but I just found this site called NeighborGoods that will help you find those around you with the “stuff” you need to borrow. From tools to books to sporting equipment, the site wants to become the main hub for you and your neighbors to start sharing with each other. You can even rent out your belongings for money, if you are so inclined. But I like the sharing aspect better. I think they are just getting started, but you would be wise to put your name on the site in case others in your area join up too!

$25 Bonus For Opening An ING Checking Account.

I have been meaning to do this anyway, so this is just a push for me to get it done! ING Direct is offering, until October 31, 2009, a $25 bonus for opening a checking account with them and using your Debit Card to make 3 signature transactions (you know, the ones you have to actually sign) within the first 45 days. On day 50, they will put $25 in your account. With no overdraft fees, no ATM surcharges, and no monthly fees, their Electric Orange checking makes for a pretty good account. I love free money, so I will have to take advantage of this bonus for sure. You can visit ING Direct to sign up, and be sure to enter Reference Code EM365 to be eligible for the $25!
