Good, solid advice there. So many people are like "I don't have money for this necessity or that necessity" but yet they smoke, have subscriptions, and other items that are completely optional.

I could hardly believe it when my neighbor told me that they were paying about $200 every month for cable and internet with Comcast in addition to the $70 for a telephone line.

Modern camping ain't cheap anymore. A typical night at a KOA is close to $60 now.

Killed cable (basic tier) almost 5 years back; still alive. Whacked the Daily Times couple of years prior to that on editorial bias and lack of content. Philosophically that was tougher since I love to read but there was no longer any realistic content.

I killed my cable 3+ years ago 10:49 and don't miss it. My kids don't mind either
