NO CABLE TV, NO HIGHSPEED INTERNET, NO LANDLINE TELEPHONE


I keep a budget. Along with the budget, I have flagged items to give up if money becomes short. One of the last things I intend to give up is cable TV and High speed internet.

The reason is because there is too much value for the dollars spent.

With Netflik we have all the movies we want to watch. With Facebook, we replace the post office and long distance calls to keep up with family. With the internet we can seek out deals and coupons much better than newspapers could ever do.

But then that is just me.

I suspect the reason facebook has peaked is as someone else mentioned, everyone interested in joining has joined.

Let's say your budget was limited enough that you had to give up entertainment ~ but you're still looking for employment. That cellphone gives you 24/7 access to employers, and them to you!

Not having the internet (other than that WalMart email link) is something anyone cold deal with for a good long while.
