Our cable bill

I am having trouble with the cable bill and it is causing me stress.  $144+ this month.  It is my only pleasure.  We have tv and internet.  Trying to cope there.  I have given up all other pleasures like bingo and going out with friends.  Not much left to give up.  And I don't want to go without.  I keep in touch with family and friends on internet.  We enjoy certain channels and I can't get them without cable as far as I know.  Have to cut back somewhere.  One more thing to cause stress.

My cable bill is a lot also. You could call the company and ask if there is a way to get a better deal. Sometimes they will work with you, especially if they think you might be leaving them (just pretend you might be leaving for Satellite Dish and that you're asking around). They also have different tiers or packages, that might work just as well for you. Good luck, I won't give up my cable TV either!

Sometimes they will work with you. My DH complains every time the bill comes in. And I really don't care.

Try seeing if the shows you watch are available through hulu. You can get a roku or a firestick and you can turn the cable portion of the bill off keeping internet. Through either one of those options there are more free movie apps than you can possibly want. It lowered our bill down alot

    88FWhat I do like is early morning clouds and then they disappear and the sun comes out. That was it's cooler in the morning. I'm sitting here looking out the window at the hummingbird with the river and dike as a back drop. It's hard to invision ever leaving but I'm also a realist with aging, especially when the luncheon we had with thirty former classmates on Monday. Sandra, we get news of...
