I guess if you wanted to stick to the letter of the law, living cheaply doesn't really coalesce with being an Iphone user...but come on it's the 21st century! If you splurge on anything it should be a device that contains all your music, email, calling, and texting capabilities and excels in all of the above areas. Money saving suggestion: stick with the same company and then you can upgrade your phone for cheap, I got an Iphone for $50.
Iphones can be a lot of fun or entertainment, but they can also be very functional. I obviously only buy free apps, and have more than enough, but did you know you can also find apps to actually help you save money?

Time Magazine recently ran a story with "20 money saving apps," and 13 of them were free. Some interesting ones:
1) Yard Sale Manager (Free) - this rounds up yard, tag, garage, and rummage-type sales and places them on a map, complete with directions from where you are at.
2) Skype (Free) - rather than use your minutes, Skype makes calls over the internet, something that may allow you to scale down your plan. However, AT&T doesn't offer data-only plans.
3) Local Reuse (Free) - This service tries to a) cut down on landfill refuse and b) connect users who are getting rid of a product with someone who may be seeking a product, and connect their locations. The money could be saved if you are seeking say "a paper-shredder." Very green.
4) Stanza (Free) - This is a smaller, but free alternative to the Kindle. It can also possibly save you on the cost of some books. It currently has about 50,000 titles.
