OK, so I've been sitting down and going over my expenses... trying to figure out my budget so I don't go into debt and *gasp* maybe even save a little. Living in DC is expensive as hell, and i'm concerned. I'm trying to save money wherever I can... Today's dilemma... the cable guy..........
My choice... Basic cable.... 60 channels... some are ok
Digital cable...30 more channels....
problem is, all the channels I usually watch are in the ditigal package... especially Noggin. I couldn't live without degrassi. I'd definately have to have someone back home tape it... and what a hastle that would be. I really don't know if i could function without Degrassi.
The price difference between these two options... $15. now some may say.. Vanessa, it's NOT that much... but when you look at it in terms of other things... it is a lot... that's like 2 small lunches out... 1 dinner out... 1/2 a pair of cheap shoes.... 1/2 a tank of gas.... ya know? Man... growing up and paying bills sucks.
I am thinking however, that it is super great that I'll be living somewhere with so many free entertainment options... the zoo, the endless museums, etc etc... At least I'm not somewhere where I HAVE to buy my fun eh?
