Merari– “I live alone and only have 1 phone line (AT&T). My employer provides my work phone.

I just called ATT because I felt my cell bill was too high, $100. Come to find out, I was in some old grandfather program that was charging me for everything separately. So I switched to a new program and my bill is now $40!” #moneywin
