Is what you are getting straight talk?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love the idea of not being on a contract with my cell phone company. I have had so many problems over the past 10+ years of having a cellphone, where I couldn't get them to resolve something and their answer turned into a nice way to put "youre on a contract anyway, youre not going anywhere, we have you where we want you". But really, everything you need is available without contracts, hidden and inflated fees.

Just imagine the money you would save switching to Straight Talk and cutting your bill in half? What would you do with that money? If it were me, I would probably take the money I would be saving and put it towards redoing the floors in my house. Or maybe put it towards a new car for my husband, or even better to sponsor a child overseas. mom knows best, Straight Talk offers great connectivity, without breaking the bank and only deals quality phones like Kyocera, LG, Samsung, Nokia, & Motorola. Unlimited service offers unlimited data, text, mms, talk all for only $45 per month. Not only are there no activation fees, cancellation fees, or surprise fees, but 411 calls are included free of charge. Straight Talk International is an affordable way to make international calls with a flexible prepaid calling service.

Reconditioned phones are offered from $10 with cameras, mp3 players, mobile web access and even bluetooth capability. These phones are great for young users who aren't ready to make a commitment but still want to call a friend. They have got me Hook, line and sinker since they really do offer everything you need.

The Monopoly Money

I was reading Good to be Crazy and something hit me right in the face. She quoted Amy Carmichael who said: “Satan is so much more in earnest than we are–he buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost.

I immediately thought of Monopoly. When I play monopoly I win. The minute the game starts I buy every single piece of property I have until I am just about out of cash. This strategy always gives me a leg up on gaining monopolies of everything and having more properties to trade to complete my monopolies. While my husband is usually more conservative with what he buys targeting specific areas and making sure he has enough to pay for things that come up. While I am flagrantly throwing my cash down to gain every advantage that I can, knowing that the future can worry about the future and I can always mortgage/sell a property off if I run into trouble. To me - gaining ground is the most important strategy and I don't even look at the cost of purchases until I am told I can't afford one.

Fortunately I am not quite this irresponsible with money in real life. And since Bry handles the books the net result is nothing like how I play Monopoly. But maybe it should be. Maybe we should be putting every single penny we have into advancing the cause of Christ. Desire of comfort and the American way is not how we want to be, so why is that not reflected in our budget as much as it should be? The enemy is certainly not worrying about saving for a rainy day - he is putting every penny down because he knows his time is limited. Well our time is also limited in the earthly sense, shouldn't we be putting every penny down too?

Well, Bryan won't play much Monopoly with me anymore. Maybe its the real estate agents in my blood, or my buy em all up strategy, but my continuous winning makes the game less fun for him - not sure why... So basically I go all out, always win, and he gives up. Hmmm - sounds like a good strategy for life too?
