Justify paying $225 a month in CABLE BILL????

I never would. But then, I've been without a TV of my own (and therefore the need for cable) for a while now, and I don't miss it anymore. I have so much more time to read, see friends, and do projects than I ever did before. Plus, when I do feel like watching TV, I can check out free TV show seasons on DVD from the local library and watch them on my computer. Cheap living is the life for me. :)
