All-in before cutting the cord (my cable plan had HBO/Cinemax/Showtime/Starz) and 50/50 Internet, plus not counting Amazon Prime and Netflix: $268.00 per month.

Now:

500/500 Internet - $47.14
YouTubeTV - $54.11
Disney+ - $3.87 (got the 3 year special)
Hulu: $5.99

Total: $111.11

I have Plex and buy movies, always looking for specials. I rip them, put on my server.

I have Vudu and Movies Anywhere, Google Play and iTunes. I buy movie codes from people who purchase the Blu-ray (both HD and UHD) or wait for a special deal on Apple or Vudu.

I also use Kodi from time to time and have a subscription to Real Debrid ($2.50 a month) that makes extremely high quality streams and torrents that load on Real Debrid's servers then stream directly to my device.

On average, I probably spend $165-$175 a month with my movie purchases, Netflix and Amazon. I never rent. I never buy unless it's a great deal, either.

I still have Netflix and Amazon, although I've added the Amazon family plan for Music Unlimited and use this on my sound system and my car has Alexa enabled so accesses my music account.

Oh, and everything is available anywhere I go, unlike cable, although that's changing, but still.. no set top boxes or DVR fees.

Like many others here, I had Netflix, Hulu, and amazon prime while still paying for Directv. I cancelled directv and currently have att tv (formerly Directv Now). I was paying roughly $140/month for directv. Now I’m paying $50-60 for att tv.

I’ve posted this before but the biggest difference to me in cable/satellite versus streaming is the boxes you have to rent. With cox or directv I was paying over $50/month just for the boxes. Some of those boxes would go a month or two without being used (porch, guest room, etc). With streaming services, I pop a $15 fire stick in the guest room and I’m not paying $9/month for the tv to not be used.
