In reading the various threads scattered throughout the forum, I've noticed a lot of people suggest cutting off your cable to save a bit each month. I totally agree. But you might want to consider the costs of having/watching TV in a different perspective.
Everyone is different, some people own a TV but barely watch it, others like to watch their 3-4 hours of TV per week, still others might watch 1-2 hours per night, every night of the week (7-14 hours per week).
Also, throughout the threads I've noticed people saying they don't have time to earn extra money. While everyone's situation is different, I wanted to just highlight the time spent watching TV, and remind everyone of the possible time savings (which means a potential to make money during that time) you can get by cutting your TV watching time. It can be substantial!
Some maybe can't go out and work b/c they are watching kids, and babysitting would eat your earnings - but consider reading and educating yourself so that you can begin to increase your marketability, ideas, and expertise in an area that has the potential to make you some money. Don't just write off the power an extra 10 hours a week could have towards your informal (but important education) or towards an extra job (mowing lawns, washing windows, etc.)
I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but I just wanted to bring this up. Sometimes we don't realize how much time we have b/c we fill it with unnecessary stuff!
