Still More Cleaning Out

I'm trying to summon the courage to ditch cable television. Here's what I'm thinking . . .


  • Ditch cable and the DVR = $72 savings per month
  • Ditch telephone service = $30 savings per month 
  • Increase capacity of internet service = $10 additional cost per month 
  • Get hit with leaving Verizon agreement early = $100 one-time charge 
  • Adopt Ooma = $200 start-up cost but then $5 per month 
  • Acknowledge there will be more buying of digital media from Amazon = $15 per month 
  • Buy some box for DVR of over-the-air television = $100


So up front I'm out $400
Monthly savings end up being $77

This is a bit of a tough call.
