Of those things, I think I would be most likely to eliminate the cable TV and I have actually thought about that but really don't want to.... As far as the cash issue, I am planning a post on when and why I use it soon, I just haven't had time to write it yet. I know for a fact that I probably wouldn't get approved for another credit card, and the amount of cash that I spend probably wouldn't really justify trying to earn the cash back on it. My guess is that at 2% I would get MAYBE $20 per year. I’m not exactly sure why, but for some reason, I really like having an old-fashioned landline telephone.

How about getting a skype phone to use as your landline so you can reduce that cost? And since you are paying so much in cash have you thought about getting a dedicated credit card like the Chase rewards card to pay for the stuff and then send the cash that same day to pay it? You will earn cash back on your purchases but you treat them like cash. It takes a lot of discipline but the reward is worth it. I noticed that you have a landline, cable and internet.
