[quote=AN]sd_bear, I find big box complexes are just as likely to negotiate. When I was renting from an apartment complex, they wanted to raise my rate by $100. I negotiated down to only $25/month increase instead. So it’s very doable.[/quote]
AN, you should become some kind of tightwad consultant. You have the tightest control of your money of anyone I have ever seen.
Were you jealous when FLU posted his deal on cable internet/TV? If you were paying more than him, I bet you’ve already used your Asian Persuasion to knock down your total bill to less than his. FLU gives it a good go, but I don’t think anyone can compete with you when it comes to saving money.
