To cancel the directv it would cost $20/month for each month early. So it will cost $60 for us to cancel in July. However we are going to have to pay $20/month extra come June 10th because our special deal from our current internet provider runs out.
I am not sure whether to just cancel the directv and switch to FIOS or try to keep pushing the deal back so we don’t have to pay a penalty. One thing I like is the all in one nature of the deal. Also it’ll be about the same price in both packages.
Right now we pay $55 for directv and $53 for phone/internet. With the new package we get internet/phone/cable for $99, but to add on the DVR and extra box it costs $17 plus tax (~$10). So we’ll be paying about $20 more a month. Sounds like a lot, but we are running out of discounts on both the directv and phone deal of $25/month. So it’s about the same price, but we do get HDTV and a multiroom DVR. I think we might take the deal.

Have you considered giving up paying for TV altogether? It’s so easy to download shows from the Internet these days…

Nope, I like watching a few shows Law and Order and Scrubs. If I were in debt I’d cut it, but for now I like.
It’s a luxury yes, but what is the point having money if you don’t spend it?
I am not about to live life without pleasures. I don’t want debt, but if it means depriving myself of everything then nope. Life is a balance, I like eating out, I like traveling, I like spending money. I don’t like saving but I do it anyway.
And yes I’m cheap, if I weren’t I wouldn’t walk around picking coupons from the trash, and other stuff.
I also own two paid for cheap cars. So I could buy a nicer cars and cut our cable, but why?
