YOU DON'T NEED A CABLE BOX

How to view on TV

Pick the simplest route your television already supports. An inexpensive streaming stick is only a fallback when the TV has no useful apps.

HOME INTERNET

Get internet for $0–$15/mo

Start with the cheapest possible route, then move down only if it does not fit your address or household.

1 Β· FREE FIRST

Check $0 options

NYCHA Big Apple Connect, Project 10Million and community-network options can beat every paid plan when they fit.

2 Β· LOW-COST PLANS

Then check $10–$15 internet

Astound, Optimum, Spectrum and T-Mobile have low-cost options in parts of NYC and Long Island. Availability varies by address.

3 Β· CHECK EVERY PROVIDER

Do not stop at your current company

New York’s Affordable Broadband Act can require covered providers to offer qualifying households a low-cost plan.

4 Β· COMPARE FINAL PRICE

Pick the lowest real total

Equipment, address eligibility and provider-specific rules matter more than the advertised headline price.

ELECTRIC + GAS + HEATING

Save $45+/mo + get up to $14K in upgrades

Utility savings can stack. Check recurring bill help first, then free upgrades and lower-cost supply options.

1 Β· MONTHLY BILL HELP

Claim recurring credits first

HEAP and utility affordability programs can reduce ongoing electric, gas or heating costs for qualifying households.

2 Β· FREE HOME UPGRADES

Cut usage without paying upfront

EmPower+ can cover insulation and other efficiency work worth thousands of dollars for eligible homes.

3 Β· LOWER THE RATE

Check community solar and rate plans

Community solar, time-of-use pricing or a cheaper eligible rate can lower what remains after credits.

4 Β· STACK WHAT WORKS

Use more than one route when allowed

A bill credit, efficiency upgrade and lower energy cost can solve different parts of the same utility bill.

HEALTH + PRESCRIPTIONS + MEDICAL BILLS

Get $0 coverage and cut medical costs

Use benefits before negotiating bills: lower the insurance and drug costs first, then attack anything still owed.

1 Β· HEALTH COVERAGE

Check $0 coverage first

Some plans can cost $0/month, and Medicare Savings Programs may pay the Part B premium for eligible people.

2 Β· PRESCRIPTIONS

Make the drug cost compete

Extra Help can eliminate some Part D costs. Also compare insurance copays with low cash prices and assistance programs.

3 Β· HOSPITAL BILLS

Ask for financial aid before paying

Hospital financial-assistance programs can reduce or erase bills. Apply before agreeing to a payment plan or using a credit card.

4 Β· THEN NEGOTIATE

Only pay the remaining legitimate balance

After benefits and aid are applied, verify the bill and negotiate or arrange a manageable payment only if something is still due.

HOMEOWNER SAVINGS

Cut property tax, PMI, insurance + water costs

Homeowners often have several separate savings opportunities. Check each bill instead of treating housing as one expense.

1 Β· PROPERTY TAX

Stack every exemption you qualify for

STAR is only the start. Senior, disability, veteran and local exemptions can reduce the property-tax bill further.

2 Β· PMI

Remove mortgage insurance when eligible

If your equity is high enough, removing PMI can cut roughly $50–$300+ from a monthly mortgage payment.

3 Β· HOME INSURANCE

Ask for each discount by name

Storm protection, alarms, leak sensors, updated systems and improved credit can reduce premiums.

4 Β· WATER / SEWER

Check provider-specific relief

Some customers can get bill discounts or debt relief. Programs differ sharply by water provider and municipality.
