Steps to Reduce Debt #1
posted in frugality, save money |Three days ago we canceled cable television. We mostly live on downloads of television shows and netflix.
What made me laugh was when they asked why I was canceling…
Them:”Sir, why are you canceling?”
Me:”It’s too expensive and the VOD never works.”
Them:”Well, if I sign you up for a new promotion it’ll lower your cost by $7, to $82, and it’ll add HBO for free for three months.”
No dice.
So we’re cable-free (uh, television, I mean). I kept the internet (for work and personal use, for my wife and I).
Monthly Savings: ~$45
Yearly Savings: ~$540
Boo yeah.
