re: Those who've cut the cord, how much do you pay for all of the

I have 2 versions of cord cutting:
8 Months of the Year - $0 for Tablo (just locals with a nice dvd and channel guide)
4 Months of the year - Streaming Service that includes Football channels. Typically $50? Now that PS Vue is shutting down I'll have to find a good NFL Redzone carrier.
The 1st version of cord cutting has nothing to do with replicating the channels I used to have. It's a lifestyle change of reducing my habitual tv watching and doing other things. So I typically haven't spent any money for several months and go back for the few I miss it too much.
Trying to do this with a cable company is a nightmare.

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.
