Netflix: $10/mo, MLS Live: $65/year, SiriusXM Satellite Radio: $200/yr Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I exercise 5 days a week and work in my yard/do housework the other two days of the week. I started by buying a copy of "Turbo Jam" off eBay for $9 and doing the workouts in my living room. Just follow the schedule and you'll do fine (although I substituted the "Great Abs Guaranteed" bonus...

Linux is open source. Nobody is making money from anything with it. There just isn't a lot of programming for it, other than what is produced for Android. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

No, thank you. Either sell me the operating system and get out of my way or I will use a free open source operating system like Linux that doesn't spy on me like I am living in "1984". Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I thought about upgrading to Windows 10, but the constant nagging annoyed me and then I discovered that Microsoft will be spying on me, unless I jump through a bunch of hoops to get away from it. No, thank you. I already give all my personal information away for free to Facebook so I can talk...

Everyone has different priorities, but I've found that cutting back from 200 channels of cable TV to 60 channels of OTA and Netflix not only saved me a lot of money, but it also freed up a lot of my time to do more constructive stuff. Now I PLAY sports for five days a week and watch sports only...

When we bought our house three years ago, the furnace failed only a few months after purchase. The previous owner thought he was Mr. Handy and he rigged up a dehumidifier that sent the water directly into the furnace and rusted the thing right out. We ended up replacing the furnace with a brand...

You could try Hulu instead since you are having trouble getting an OTA signal. Typically, it costs (I think) $8/mo and you can watch new episodes of Fox, NBC, ABC, CW, and many cable channels the day after they air. If you are a member of Bing Rewards, you can get a free month of Hulu for every...

Why wouldn't you want a DVR? After you pay the purchase price, it's absolutely free and now you can record and watch your shows whenever you want and skip all the commercials (and skipping commercials does actually affect spending habits. My spending dropped by several hundred dollars a month...

They show Star Trek late at night on Decades (which is a multiplex digital channel of CBS). Just save it on your subscription-free DVR and voila! Free Star Trek. :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For years, I had only internet and no TV service at all. Then I decided to put up a rooftop antenna so I could watch live sports (Free Mets games on weekends!) We live about 25 miles from New York City, so (with multiplexing) we get about 60 channels for free over-the-air. Yeah, some of them are...

I feel sick when I eat fast food now so I avoid it. Strange how the body adjusts to healthy eating. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

We get fat for exactly TWO reasons: 1.) Food is really cheap in the Western World so when we feel stressed we pig out and 2.) Adults don't have mandatory gym class five days a week. When I cut back on food to save money and started exercising five days a week -- VOILA -- I lost 30 lbs really...

I bought a bicycle too. Just a cheap little thing but it does the trick. Got a cargo trailer for it too for grocery shopping and whatnot. Now I only use my car when going to other towns. Good way to save money and get some exercise. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I recently lost 20 lbs and it didn't really take a lot of work. I just stopped eating junk and started exercising for about 40 minutes a day, six days a week. The weight just melted right off. The weight problem in our country comes from the same place mentally as the financial problems that...
