The ...Everytime my husband deploys I cut the cable. The amount of money saved goes to monthly adventures. Unfortunately, as soon as the hubby gets back we are paying the insane amount for cable again because he loves television. To see $1200 in writing literally makes me sick! Mostly because my husband signed that contract and we are still in the honeymoon phase. I didn't realize the price increases after a year. I'm absolutely sick to learn this. Ugh! But so fortunate you wrote this so I wouldn't really be surprised in 6 months.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209535310773458540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-43008195936650807572014-02-22T23:09:47.423-06:002014-02-22T23:09:47.423-06:00We got rid of cable about 6 months ago, and have n...We got rid of cable about 6 months ago, and have never looked back!

I found that instead of wasting time watching television, I was actually doing things with my life! And honestly, I'm going to talk with my mom to see if we can cancel cable for our house... I'm really the only person that watches it and now that I work 50 hours a week I don't watch it anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-14618061532729080712014-02-22T11:07:41.509-06:002014-02-22T11:07:41.509-06:00We've gotten rid of cable before and at first ...We've gotten rid of cable before and at first it was a little weird, but thanks to Netflix and Hulu I was totally fine with not having DirecTV!

With Amazon prime, Netflix, and Hulu, I get 99% of what I want! PS - I even go old school because I still have a VHS / DVD player, and I record CBS shows on a vhs tape like we did 10 years ago. If i forget i'll watch it on CBS online, even though they have a ton of commercials!

Before he left on a short foundation building trip in Mexico, he cut cable but I still could watch it until this Wednesday. They cut it! He got home yesterday and instead of having the T.V. to babysit us, we actually sat on the couch together and talked. Granted we had our phones to play with too but I didn't feel like we had this big black screen in front of us to keep us from somehow connecting. It was very nice. Yes, we have the internet still and our phones but t.v. became a big deal. I'm still trying to keep the t.v. out of our room "to watch movies" if I can help it :)<br />Okay, enough blabbing. :)Mrs. M ~ a.k.a. ~ Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273843782281873489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-62585421931906136642014-02-21T11:19:10.710-06:002014-02-21T11:19:10.710-06:00I am trying to convince my husband to do this, but...I am trying to convince my husband to do this, but he needs to have like 300 sports channels so that makes it a bit tricky unfortunately!
