Cashtexts.com sounds too good to be true!
Here’s what they say:
A couple ways! The first is to sign up for free and every time we text you an advertisement you earn 5 cents! Also, we have a 5 level refer-a-friend system. So you will earn cash every time people in your referral receive a text! Secondly, if you bring us an advertiser you will earn a 10% commission on that account for life, plus earn a half percent on 5 levels of Advertiser referrals! Finally, you can save money by using the coupons and discounts in the offers that our advertisers send you.
It also mentions that the most texts you receive a day is 5 but you can refer a friend and get an extra 3 cents per friend….
So for your own texts you can earn 20 cents a day as a maximum, if you refer 5 friends and they receive 5 texts each day that’s another 75 cents a day. Which can work out to about 30 dollars a month as the maximum. Not a whole lot extra income, but enough to pay for my texting plan at least… Of course we have 4 members in our family with phones… so theoretically I could up that some. Even if they get 5 friends that’s still only $100 a month – not enough to pay the whole bill, but it would definitely help out.
Of course signing up is by referral only so use the code 47563 when you sign up.
I haven’t been paid yet by this but it seems worth a try!

So, you do what you can to try to cut cost of electric down. We set the thermostat as low as we can in the winter and run the ceiling fans for better circulation.

Some ways to reduce electric cost include:
1. Turn down the temperature on your water heater
2. Turn down your thermostat (or up during the summer)
3. Unplug items when not in use (power leaches even when an item is off)
You can also evaluate your windows, put rolled up door stops under entryways and more. – Of course my favorite is a programmable thermostat!
