That has saved me $65 a month which is $780 a year. This is the exact amount of my home owners insurance. Nice trade off! I gave up cable T.v. and don’t miss it a bit.

I don't watch TV, don't own a TV, and there's none in my house. There are so many more productive things to do. Like surfing money-saving sites.... ;) I also listen to satellite radio, just the music stations, where there are no commercials. If you stop listening to commercials for a while, it's pretty strange when you actually do hear one. Your tolerance for them goes way down. They seem idiotic. I also use AdBlock with my web browser. Doesn't get rid of all ads, just the more obnoxious ones. I don't see any ads on this page, for example. (But I do see the Supporting Sites links.) Sounds good to me.
