FYI: MY ELDERLY mother’s credit card was recently compromised. This required her to move all her automatic payments to a new credit card.
That, in turn, prompted her to reevaluate these various charges. Her cable bill, for instance, had gone up more than 15% over the past two years. My mother complained that, while she gets many channels, she only watches broadcast TV. She dropped the cable package.
As she added the autopay information to her new credit card, my mother noticed another service she no longer needed. She has an Apple watch, which allows her to call for emergency help if she falls. That meant she no longer needed the separate monthly lifeline service to which she subscribed.
Regards,
Ted
