Tightwad could be saving over $650 per year if she was “allowed” to cut cable. But, she’s not, so she has to consider other options. That doesn’t stop you from considering the big unplug though! Emancipate yourself... read, visit friends, take up a hobby, start running, bake bread - do anything but watch TV - which, have you noticed? - has absolutely zero impact on our long term happiness.

Oh, how I would love to get rid of cable. But, like you, I'm not "allowed" to do so. I've decided instead to make the most of it by watching only the shows I really enjoy and using the DVR to record things (classic films, PBS concerts, etc.) to enjoy while I work crafts during the day when no one is home to ask me to change the channel. And most importantly, I won't be watching just because someone else has the TV on.
Yes! I couldn't have said it better myself. We spend far too much money on the "boob tube" (a phrase I grew up with..) Lately, we've all enjoyed the "quiet" by not having the TV on. We just can't seem to make the break...but perhaps soon...
