The cable guy wont be coming to our house!
We finally took the leap and ditched our cable tv…
We have been thinking about pulling the plug for a long time, but wondered how we could live without our DVR and all of our favorite shows at our fingertips whenever we wanted them…
But every month, when I would get the cable bill, I just knew it was not how we wanted to spend our money.
We always talked about spending more time talking and hanging out together at night instead of zoning out in front of the t.v. but somehow we just couldn’t bring ourselves to do it.
Well the day came and we pulled the plug…
It has been great!

We bought a $10 rabbit-ear antennae (which gives us 10+ channels!) and signed onto Netflix and we are in great shape! We can still veg out in front of the t.v. if we want to, but we are not slaves to the cable bill.Now the nagging feeling I have when I don’t get the bill is ” Why didn’t we do this sooner??”
I guess we can never totally win!
Have you been thinking about ditching something that you thought you couldn’t live without?

We have been thinking of doing the same and I too have wondered if I can do it.It seems foolish to pay the bill every month for a small amount of stations we watch.Thanks for giving me some options to think about.
We were so surprised at how many options there were out there! The antennae was the best investment!! Good luck with you decision! Thank you for reading!
