As Dave put it, “This is a big step!  Are you sure you two are ready for this?”  We definitely are, and as of last night Lindsay and I are on a Family Plan with T-Mobile sharing 700 anytime minutes and unlimited messaging.

I’m very pleased so far with the way that everything works.  I already payed almost $70 for my plan after adding $15 worth of text messaging and $6 worth of internet access to my plan each month.  With the new family plan, Lindsay and I split $60 in plan and $20 in text messaging.  Overall, my personal bill went from $70 to $40, and I think I’m getting a better deal.  In fact, since Lindsay previously didn’t have coverage at her new appartment and it was always a pain to get a hold of her there, I know I’m getting a good deal.

Lindsay is picking up her first personal bill, however.  She was previously on her Mom’s family plan with Sprint and now will be paying a phone bill for the first time.  So in a way, I guess it was two “big steps”.  It was a big step for us, to commit to a joint financial obligation, and it was a big step for her, a step towards financial independance from her Mom.

I don’t know about you, but all this talk about relationships and independance makes me think of a mushy fireworks show.
