I’m shocked your cable costs are $167 a month, or $2000 a year.

But your point is well taken even if you found a much cheaper cable or satellite package. The way they bundle channels together on different “tiers”, as my satellite provider calls them, you end up paying for channels you don’t want and never watch.

Well I guess I should break that down. The actual cost was 190 bucks/month. That included internet (that was clunky at best and experienced frequent outages), land line phone service (that I get get elsewhere for 25 bucks/year) and cable with a couple movie channels.

End result was still the same though. I was interested in watching very little of it. The stuff I did watch, I watched just to do it. the few things I was actually interested in, I could get free on youtube most times
