The next best thing to making money, is saving money and my cable tv with Internet was going through the roof! My monthly bill was like $170 and I finally had enough. I was talking to my son about it and he said he dropped cable and got one of the new Winguard flat panel HDTV antennas and got tons of channels to watch with no monthly payment. The antenna was only $29 one time!!!
Well we live in a hilly subdivision and when we moved here 40 years ago, we tried a normal TV antenna and only got one or two channels with so much snow you couldn't stand to watch it, so I didn't think it would work. To make a long story short, he brought his over, hooked it up in a few minutes and my jaw hit the floor. It got a better picture on the Network channels than the cable did.
So I am headed to Costco tomorrow to pick up a couple of them, so I can quit the cable tv vice. Then I ordered a competitive Internet service for $29 a month instead of $70 I have been paying, not to mention if I drop the cable tv and kept the same Internet service it would increase.
I should save about $130 a month after paying for the antennas and spending $8 a month for Netflix (which I already do anyway) and end up with all the entertainment I need.
My wife is on a trip, so last night I was surfing my favorite traffic exchange and watching Grey's Anatomy on my 32" Monitor.
