Banking The Difference deposit $135.00

February 17th, 2015 at 10:02 am

I had to pay our phone bills today and there were no savings there (B's mobile had a saving of $5 while the home phone had an increase of $5), however it is also time to buy my monthly train ticket.

The monthly train ticket went down from $190 per month to $130 per month as of 1 January 2015 so there will always be savings there, but when I compared February 2014 $290 to February 2015 $155 there is a saving of $135.00 there. (Last year our weather was really hot so I drove to work a few times and parking is expensive). So I sent over the $135.00 to the various places (sidebar updated).

I think I can see a couple more saving opportunities for the month- car insurance, my cellphone and our mortgage repayments, but will do these deposits as the bill payments get made. Who knew paying bills could be so much fun!

    This is great news. Though I have never heard of such a thing - in what universe does a monthly train fare ever go down? It only goes up, I think there is some kind of law of physics about that Smile

    They changed the zoning. We live in the outer fringe so had a higher fare but because population in the outer fringe has exploded they have reconfigured what they consider to be the outer fringe (and are dropping the fares to attract more people to use the train instead of driving). I'm not complaining Smile
