technology sparks a passion in people if
you've read the comments section of
anything iOS or Android you will see the
fervor that people have for technology
and what does sometimes lend itself to
disagreeing there's one thing we can all
agree on saving some money so in that
vein let's unify the tech loving
population and here's some top tech to
help save you some cash
the big caveat here that for a lot of
these things certainly you have to buy
them so the goal is to save money over
the longer term of the product
the first one is a smart thermostat
Nest and Ecobee tend to get most of the press
or become smart thermostats those are
expensive starting around 250 bucks and
going up there are less expensive
options from Honeywell and a few others
but these smart thermostats do move the
needle on a yearly basis for an average
annual savings 231 240 five dollars
according to Nest and Ecobee own findings
so loud you guys might have a landline
bundled into your cable plan or maybe
your parents have a landline phone it's
time to drop that and go to voice over
IP or VoIP is incredibly less expensive
option that gives you almost the same
features if not more than most and
landlines there's a lot of options
things like Ooma was also lower cost
options like magic jack
this next one's gonna some kind of
obvious but shocking people are still
stuck in a contract
it's an unlocked smartphone most major
carriers now offer a plan we can pay
your phone off over time but you're
still paying interest on that device you
can afford to buy a phone outright buy
it unlocked phones not gonna be stuck
any to your contracts you're not sucking
payment plans and the freedom and
flexibility to move carriers if you
choose unlocked smartphones i could go
on for probably another 10 minutes in
some video to why it's a better option
you can swing it get an unlocked phone
this next one is something i think a lot
of you guys are considering doing and
that is cutting the cord and going for a
streaming service for your TV coupled
with an HD antenna HD antennas cost
between 1300 bucks you access to local
channels all in HD and streaming options
are now becoming really easily available
you've got DirectTV NOW starting at 35
bucks a month which does have some
issues Sling TV at twenty bucks a month
and also have on demand options as well
things like Netflix Hulu Amazon Prime
etc on a good package of channels that
you watch not pay for channels you don't
watch consider cutting the cord
and probably cutting off around 60 bucks
off your cable bill I'm get a little
nerdy with you
these next ones these are LED light
bulbs and you think of these a lot of
folks think that color doing one's from
LIFX or HUE and those certainly
countess LED bulbs we don't have to get
fancy light changing bulbs that save
some cash they're way less expensive
options
you probably think about outlet so much
like stuff in stuff gets power their
energy conserving outlets that cost
around thirty fifty dollars that will
more than pay for themselves over the
course of a few years they'd like you to
cut power to an outlet without having to
plug around plug devices to have to
worry about any sort of power drain or
paying for power to keep things I know
you're not using TP-Link smart plugs 30
bucks Orvibo has a Wi-Fi smart socket
for 21 so you can get one really good
one in that thirty dollar price range
and last but not least by your cable
modem stop lease in that thing
cable internet companies really wanted
to lease their cable modem it can be
purchased for as low as 50 bucks and
they're happy to charge you six to ten
dollars per month to lease one stop it
stop doing it go out and buy one just
kind of affordable options starting
around like I said 55 bucks that will
pay for themselves in less than a year
net gears got some TP-Link got a few go
to BestBuy look online links are down
below to Amazon if you want to pick up a
new cable modem but stop leasing you'd
be surprised how much money you can save
there's a lot of other things you can do
to help save money but technology can
also help you save some cash you guys

showing you some of the cool stuff you
can do to save some cash and technology
