help with personal growth, like learning or bettering our lives.

I get a couple of women's magazines because some of them are so cheap for subscriptions now.  The problem is they contain very little of substance.  They are mostly ads.  And they are all so think now. Years ago a magazine was a magazine.  Now they are little more leaflets.

We get Home & Gardens, only because they offered 3 years for the price of one.  It's a good magazine, but no one seems to have the time to read it so it just collects & we give them away.  Overall, it's become a waste of time & money, so when the subscription ends, that will be the end of the subscription.   I don't foresee subscribing to any physical magazine anymore.  You can get some great content to read for free online.     :monkey:

I got several subscriptions - one on People, Time and Forbes.  I also periodically pick up on the newstand Wired, Fortune, Businessweek and among other things.  I might shift a lot of my reading of magazines eventually to a digital format as I feel I'm more motivated to catchup reading on my Tablet than via paper form.

I don't subscribe to any magazines anymore;  I used to years ago but eventually I quit because I never seemed to have the time to read all the magazines I was getting.  I do try to read everyday when I first get up but not magazines.  I love mystery books and enjoy other types of books as well.

I don't subscribe to any magazines, every now and then I can get a free subscription to fitness magazine, I like that but I don't think its worth paying for. Its definitely the hollywood gossip magazine that get my attention the most, but not worth the three or four dollars.

I only buy a magazine when I happen to see something that I would be interested in. But I do have a life time subscription to a gardening mag. that comes out every 2 months. Then after I am through I will copy whatever I may want to keep then take it to the library. That way others can enjoy it too,

I only read for knowledge...not for pleasure.  I have one magazine subscription right now and it is a health magazine that I think the world of.
