She joins the local Penny Pinchers Club and learns different ways to save money and end up spending more time with her family at the same time. The main character finds that the relationship she has with her husband and daughter grow stronger, the family becomes more fit as a result of no longer being couch potatoes and they essentially live happily ever after. <br><br /><br />Believing that by cancelling cable Jason and I would spend more time together doing that things that originally brought us together (playing sports, camping, etc.), I told him my idea and the reasoning behind it. <br><br /><br />My first mistake it seems was telling him this while driving as he was no longer looking at the road, but looking at me as if my brain were oozing out of my ears. The second mistake was that I questioned the importance of cable TV. <br><br />Needless to say, we still have cable though I now refuse to pay for it with the reasoning that I do not want to... however spending long hours at home has only continued to fuel my addiction to the beast.

I swear I'm the only 21 year old around who couldn't give two shits about the tube. $110 a month to watch that shit, really? REALLY? I'm fretting about dropping $80/month (AND that's on a family plan even) on an iPhone. Why the hell would I spend $110 on something I'll enjoy 4 hours a month at most... I swear I'm a normal 21 year old: it's 2:48am, I guess I should see what's on the TV.Gregnoreply@blogger.com
