Hey smartfrickingass --- you and everyone here all know damn well you're taking what I suggested to the extreme. I have a smartphone and high speed internet but I got rid of cable over two years ago. Hulu and Netflix it is for me - $16 a month combined with $45 a month for the high speed internet to stream and I'm saving $100 a month right there alone.

I quit drinking (because I'm not in college anymore and have a life that revolves around so much more than alcohol) and I don't go out every weekend. Cars are paid off, student loans are paid off, and we're paying a minimum of $1,300 extra to our mortgage each month because we stripped 90% of our "wants" out of our life. We are sacrificing a little now so we can be retired multi-millionaires in our late 40s. If that's not appealing to you, then I can't help you. Stick to your shitty arse immature life now. I don't care.

While I realize the internet is a poor conduit for subtlety, I offered all of my comments in earnest. Not in snark...there was no sarcasm in my post. I honestly believe that most people spend way too much on phone/internet/cable/books/iTunes and don't use the public library nearly enough. I am 100% sincere in this, nor do I find it extreme advice. I and many others are lucky enough to enjoy excellent public libraries & I save plenty of dough by not buying books and using lots of their other services. I literally go around telling people about the great free stuff at the public library, as many are unaware of the free movies, streaming video, e-books, audiobooks, databases (Lexis/Nexis, Ancestry, etc) available to patrons.

I'm flummoxed as to how a suggestion to avail yourself of taxpayer supported library services can be construed as an indicator of an immature life, or what any of this has to do with drinking. Perhaps encountering sincerity on the internet is so shocking, you misjudged my post?

You are absolutely correct.

Depending on what Parish you live in but for me the Bossier Central Library is fantastic. HBO series, movies, audio books for my commute. Its cheap entertainment. You cant beat it.
