Today’s tip for financial freedom is: Stop wasting cash. And cancel obvious cash wasters - like your cable TV subscription.
This will save you $40-$60+ per month - that’s an extra $500 or more per year you can use to pay off your bills. Money that you are basically burning.
Sure, you and/or your family probably like watching television. But consider an alternative: my wife and I recently bought a TV (we hadn’t owned one in three years) and bought a HDTV antenna for a $40 one-time fee. The picture quality is amazing and we get plenty of channels. Now we can watch all of our favorite shows on all of the major networks, and FOX, and it does not cost us a penny.

We got rid of our TV over 3 months ago. We save about $50 a month and gain 3 hours a day and more on weekends. I’m not sure how we got along with a TV. I feel like I’m running out of time now.

I’ve got a small indoor terk antenna, and can pick 8 local channels in high def. It is only $35 and works like charm. No cables anymore, $500 annual bonus.

I almost never watch TV but it’d be fine if I could stop paying too much for eating (like $35/day oO) This way I could be healtier too hmm not bad idea that

Save Money wherever you can. We all waste a lot of cash without realizing it. When you start looking for ways to save Money, you will be surprised by how much of it is wasted on items with little long term value.

its true, i agree with you. really if neglected it can hamper our credit score. Not only that, ultimately it can also affect our loan if we decide to take for a car or a home. Thank you very much for such an important post and really i was looking for this information. Thanks again.
