I agree with Brendan. Keep the truck but cancel the insurance.

The best reason I see to possibly keep the cell phone would be to maintain a phone number known to many, but you could even conceivably port a known number to the company cell phone. As far as reasonable use of the company phone, you could ask the company to determine a set amount on what they will pay towards your phone bill each month, and agree [in writing?] to pay anything beyond that. That way you would have your phone bill basically paid for, but you would also have the luxury of using it freely without worrying about pissing off the company.

I am happy to hear that you have a job that is treating you well.

i'm free to use the company phone and since i don't really talk alot there isn't any problem using it. They really wont agree to pay for my phone.

As soon as jessie and I get some time together your phone will get cheaper.
You just renewed your plates, right? Cancel the insurance. You aren't driving it so it doesn't matter if it's insured.

There's got to be a cheaper cell phone plan you can switch to.

there is but at the moment i'm on a family plan with eternalmaiden and twoofdtm. They want to change it so i just have to wait and see what they have planned.

I would agree with Brendan, keep the truck but you may not want to ditch the insurance, but look at storage insurance. Let the insurance company know that you are not driving the vehicle currently but want to retain the insurance. You could also look at suspending the insurance on it as well. Which should keep you insured but without having to pay the fee, if you arent driving it.

Just my tuppence
