The Verizon post-grad playbook: Mobile and home internet made easy
At a glance
When I first moved from home, I learned a very expensive lesson: “Adulting” is a lot harder when you’re the one signing the checks. Between rent, utilities and a mountain of new responsibilities, the hidden costs of moving add up fast.
Last week, I moved into my second apartment and looking back at my first move-in process, I realized the smartest way to start this chapter wasn’t just about taking meal prep seriously (maybe next year); it was looking for a better deal for my mobile and home internet needs.
Budgeting for beginners: A cost-effective solution for mobile and home internet
I’ve been there, trying to manage multiple bills on a tight budget, but right now, new customers can snag mobile and home internet from Verizon for as low as $69.99 a month.
The breakdown:
For less than the price of a few takeout orders, you’re connected both at home and on the go and, more importantly, in control of your budget.
Your home office, upgraded
If you work from home at least part-time, your apartment is your headquarters. Take it from someone who navigated their first move during the pandemic: having reliable connectivity during your meetings is essential. Whether you’re uploading massive decks or sitting through a four-hour virtual onboarding, that $20 a month for home internet goes a long way toward your peace of mind.
The financial hand-off
To the parents of new grads reading this: I know you’re looking to help your kids start “adulting” on the best financial footing possible. This bundle allows them to get great connectivity without sticker shock. Plus, adding services like Verizon Home Device Protect helps ensure that all the home tech they just graduated with (laptops, monitors, consoles, and more) is covered if something goes wrong during the move.
With all the expenses that come with starting out on your own, an affordable, high-quality connection is essential and shouldn’t be the thing that holds you back.
