Differing Tastes: TV in our House

The following post (after the break) was written back in May, and it outlines the differing tastes in tv that my wife and I have.  However, the point of this post is now moot.

Today, I called charter and cancelled our service.  I kept our internet, we will still have Netflix, plus any streaming options we can find to watch on the computer, but tv watching as we have known it is no longer an option.  Since we have our own computers/mobile devices/etc to watch tv on, this entire post is not as relevant to us anymore.

Why did I cut the cord?  The bill increased about 20% from last month to this month.  $65 a month for internet and $75 for tv.  I remember when I was young, watching tv from the floor at my grandparents' house - about once an hour there would be an add for cable TV - Only a dollar a day.  This little kid would run outside, throw a silver dollar up into the air, run inside and sit down to watch TV.  Whatever happened to those days?

The next post will be an update on our debt snowball, as well as an update on our goal for our first anniversary - paying off our car.  The $100 a month we started saving today is going to help make that goal substantially more attainable.
