My eMachine was purchased 4 years ago. We have a package deal with Verizon. Phone, DSL, and cable for 77.00 per month. We don’t go see movies, amusement parks, etc., so this isn’t exactly a big luxury like you’re implying. Everyone has always needed some kind of cable or dish thing to even get Los Angeles channels up here. There simply is no reception because of the mountains. We do not own a stereo. We have one older model car. I hate most TV programs, so I’d rather sit here on FR.

We have a 40 dollar electric bill. We conserve like crazy.

Your turn. Ask me about all our “bling”.

Some on FR see the possession of a computer and an internet connection as proof of two things:
1. Anyone who has a computer is automatically wealthy.
2. Even the poorest are living in luxury compared to a couple of generations back.
Actually a computer is now a cheap form of entertainment, an internet connection is cheaper than even one family trip to the movies every month now.

How do you manage a forty dollar electric bill? That would help me a lot!
