Yep, according to this report from Reviews.org, folks are shelling out an average of $273 per month on internet, streaming, and cell phone services.  They break it down like this: $64 for internet, $63 for mobile phones, and $74 on cable and streaming combined.  That's crazy, right? Especially when we cord cutters know there are ways to get way more bang for our buck! (Want to see how much you could save? Check out the full report at Reviews.org.)

My Cord Cutting Success Story (and How You Can Do It Too!)

I'm living proof that you can enjoy a fantastic entertainment experience without breaking the bank. Here's how I do it:

• Mobile Phone: Instead of the average $63, I stay connected with Visible wireless for a mere $25 per month. Unlimited data, talk, and text? Yes, please!
• Streaming Sweet Spot: I've found the perfect balance of streaming services, keeping my monthly costs around $35. That means I can enjoy my favorite shows and movies without overspending. And that's compared to $74 that people are spending on cable and streaming!
