Nah. I grew up without TV. It doesn't bother me a bit.

My dad hasn't owned a TV in like 20 years. He uses my YouTubeTV login for LSU sports on his laptop and that's the only thing he watches.

Damn. I think my $95 is too high.


The $100 internet here is DSL at 10 mbps. And you never quite reach that max speed.

Mortgage - $2400
HOAs - $275

Only counting the expenses for the house and not things like cell phones and car notes.

I watch youtube vids on the computer, mainly dealing with history or music.

Stopped supporting Hollywood. Its the toxic armpit of America. Maybe the world.

We have Cox, Netflix, Prime, and Hulu… and it’s on all the time but I watch basically 0 TV as well. If my SO isn’t home, I’ll go the entire time never turning it on. I could go weeks, months even, without turning it on.
this is me. I turn it on for background noise but usually it is a music channel.
