There is a new push these days to live as cheap as possible.  The idea being that the lower your monthly bills are the better and the more freedom you have.  It’s a movement against consumerism that vouches for enjoying the little things in life.  Those that live this way often choose to have a cell phone and forego the landline altogether.  These people take care of their phones and are sure to buy inexpensive phones with cheap cell phone accessories that are great quality and will last a long time.  Many of these people also choose to buy used cars, paying one lump sum to avoid a monthly bill.
