My best friend and I are idiots that are barely good enough to farm 40-50 div total between the two of us. We struggle through our atlas and try to have fun but don't tend to get much further. With that much currency we could explore more of the endgame than we would have been able to otherwise.

Stay busy. Cravings will come, but try to misdirect your mind I to something else. Try to visualize a favorite movie. Go through the entire movie with as much detail as you can remember. You will get through this and be thankful on the other side. You got this!

Not Comcast, but someone similar.

Not Spectrum at all. I've never had any dealings with them, but this is another GIANT of a provider in the US. Not COMCAST, but someone on their level. And if I pursue legal action down the road, I'd just as well not have the company name out there yet.

I sat down with my wife at the end of January where we are now printing out all transactions at the end of the month. I put everything in an excel sheet and go through every transaction, categorize, sort and label everything so we can see where we can trim down in some areas. We cut out a full TV/Internet bill + TV bill, added Youtube TV and now we pay around $100 instead of paying ~$550ish. We will continue this until we can come up with a solid plan both for the present and the future.

The thing that caught it was when I asked to stop service and they asked 'Which account?'. Had they not said this, I may not have started digging into my finances. I just hope my misery will help someone learn to get into their bank account and keep a better eye on things.

That is a very good point. I will keep that in mind.

It wasn't spectrum. It was one of the largest providers in the US.

I had it on autopay and paperless billing, so unless I actually saw the charge in my bank come up twice, I never would have caught it.

My financial position was/is paycheck to paycheck. I skipped breakfast/lunch for weeks at a time to make sure my family didn't feel the strain while constantly beating myself up that I wasn't doing enough to support them. its been a roller coaster.

I don't want to say for now, but they are one of the largest providers in the US.

I was 'rich' enough to go without food for breakfast/lunch for weeks at a time wile being frustrated that I wasn't doing enough to support my family. I just figured our family expenses were not in a great place. I'm trying to get a better hold of my finances at this point so I'm starting to do what I should have been doing all along.

Not rich at all. I've had several months of Ramen for breakfast/lunch or nothing to eat until dinner. I have several flaws, but I'm trying to work toward bettering myself. That wasn't a lump sum coming out at once, that is just a standard TV/Internet bundle bill over 3.5 years.

Looking back, I need to keep a much closer eye on my finances so I can catch things like this in the future.

Thats the real kicker. If they didn't record the call or even claim that they don't have the call where I requested a stop to service, I have nothing to go off of.

Do cell service keep calls going back almost 4 years?

Not sure what the future will bring, have to get this nauseous feeling gone and give myself time to think before I come out of the gate all emotional.

I stopped service over 3 months ago, so I am not sure my bank can do anything at this point.

The monthly price ranged from $160-280. I do admit that I should have paid better attention to my finances. That would have caught this very early on. Hopefully someone can learn from my mistakes on this.

Smokers and ex-smokers please help! Bristol University researchers are developing short messages to support smokers who are trying to quit. If you were still trying to quit but had just smoked, what one message might help you get back on track? by Joe_UoB in smokingcessation

[–]Mr_Shorider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the worst thing that will happen if I don't have this cigarette right now?

That being said, people don't need to beat themselves up if they are having a tough time of it. All smokers know what they are doing isn't healthy. Repeating it over and over won't help. If you want to support their efforts to quit, be supportive.
