Smaller is sometimes better......

In cable bills that is....LOL!!!! TV is totally America's favorite pass time. We can't (speaking for myself) can't live without the boob tube. Entertainment has become a huge part of our culture today and boy is it expensive. Cable and Satellite companies have totally enslaved us with the Triple, Double Quadruple play options and it's hard emancipate ourselves from Visual slavery.

I know you've asked yourself while either shopping online or on the phone with a rep, how in the HELL am I going to watch all 1,898 channels? Is that even possible? But, you sure as hell gonna try to do it. So, you sign your name on the dotted and sell your soul to the "best package" dealer, right?

I've been paying for cable for the past 10 years and I've given sooo much money to these companies. After taxes, fees, surcharges and modem rentals-you are looking upwards at $250 per month-just to watch the same channels over and over again.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled BLOG post for this important message.....Ditch Cable MOVIE Channels NOW and Buy yourself a small monthly subscription fee of FREEDOM! How you may ask?

First, inventory your current channel line up. Do you really watch every single channel? Can you downgrade to a lower package? The Basic package still includes your primetime and digital channels! Once, you've downgraded-look at subscribing to HULU or Netflix for movies. The library is filled is great options for the perfect movie night. 

My cable bill was between $180 and $210 per month. YES, it really was. I've downgraded to Basic Cable and kept my internet access and ditched the home phone service. There was totally no need for a Home phone. My estimated new service will be $65 per month. That is a savings of approx. $145 per month. I also have Netflix and Hulu services for my movies! This has been a life saver while on the road. Also, most major networks have full episodes loaded to their website.That's an option too if you decide to totally digital cable and go "commando" and ditch cable all together.

So, pick your up phones tomorrow and call your cable or satellite provider and ask how you can save money. Remember, take a full inventory of the channels you don't need and work your way down. Those extra dollars that your spending on air can totally be allocated somewhere else...

Good NIGHT!
