  1. We did this, we cut out our cable for a total of 9 years, yep 9 years. Did we miss it? At first yes but it was a hidden blessing for us.

    Now that we have it again, I do enjoy certain shows. At first I have to admit when we first got it back, I watched hours and hours of it BUT the thrill of having it again quickly wore off and I barely watch it now. I have some shows seasonally I enjoy but am not obsessed if I miss them.

    The long disconnect with cable did us good, if it wasn’t a luxury we got from where we live we still wouldn’t have it but it’s included so we will take it LOL.

  2. We still have cable, but we now have the most minimal service. We spend a lot less, and everyone watches less TV now that we no longer have a DVR and the expanded range of channels. We save about $60 a month, which isn’t a fortune but certainly adds up over the course of a year.

    It’s true that you need to be in agreement about where to cut costs. This change went through because cable ended up being a lower priority to my husband than some of the other things I suggested we cut back on.

  3. I agree 100%, but if I cut the satellite dish expense my husband would snip my internet connection. Most of the shows he watches can be viewed online and he has a wide array of DVDs to keep him busy so I don’t see the big need for the extra cost. If it wasn’t for the kids watching their favorite shows I would try to convince him to get rid of it and use the savings towards more important things—like groceries and bills.
