My wife and I were having a discussion about where we are in our lives, and the subject of having more financial growth came up. I floated the idea again of cutting the phone line, and finally got the wife to agree. I then also suggested we might try suspending our satellite bill and trying streaming most of what we wanted. When I told her it would save $100 by itself, it became a serious conversation.
I have Amazon Prime, so I have access to most of the older stuff I like to watch already. I was already considering a Roku box for the bedroom to watch Prime, I would likely pick up a Hulu Plus subscription as well (included in the $100 figure). Pretty much everything we watch is available by one of those two. I'll miss out on baseball games, however, plus a lot of other sports only done on regional carriers.
Anyone do this, and what was your experience like? Was it worth the savings? Any kids or sportsheads that factored into the decision?
Combined with both we'd be saving about $150 a month. That's not insignificant.
