Price increases and inflation have been out of control the last few years and annual contract renewal continues to raise prices. This is a reminder to take a hard look at your service contracts, review value and negotiate a fair price.

Just this month my insurance (house and car) went up $500, internet from $35 to $57, garbage $120 to $160,

I was able to negate the bulk of this by reaching out directly, being prepared with competitor pricing, and be willing to change.

Get a broker, compare competitors and negotiate a deal, get on the phone and work a discount - an extra few hundred $$ is worth it for the effort.
