lil duck beezie Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 i wonder what it would be like if i didnt have internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATTS Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 cut off the tv definately. its hella easy to get tv on the internet if you really want to watch it. cell phone - eh, fuck a cell phone.. who wants to be reached 24/7? internet is where i get news and shit. but you could always just go to a starbucks or whatever and use their internet. so you dont need internet either.

Gat Bush Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 1) no one NEEDS cable or satellite television. Network TV is free. 2) keeping the internet is up to you. 3) get a pre-paid cell phone and a pager. if you really want to save $$$'s. it sounds funny but a pager is like $10 a month. and you can only call back the people you want to talk to, if you so please. cut the fat my friend, cut the fat.

Theo Huxtable. Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 i say cut off the internet and tv. but not the cellphone. because of the three, the cellphone is the only one that is an improvement/enhancement on your social life. but don't go completely without it. get a laptop, like a cheap one, and just use it at wifi hotspots for free whenever you really have to use the internet. and just view tv if you're at someone elses house. basically it will limit it the consumption, but you'll get out more. me personally, i couldn't do it. but if i did, i would do it that way.

the_gooch Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 get a g/f with some loot and have her pay some or all of your bills. if she moves in with you have her pay for the tv and internet. honestly, i'm being sarcastic. guys that do that are lame, as are the women who do the same.

KRUM Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Get rid of your TV I say. TV is a bunch of bullshit anyway you can watch dvds or vhs cant you? Cell phone? I dont have a cell phone and I get by okay. Sometimes I am out and I wish I could call people to get shit rolling you know. I dunno about internet though. The internet is like a 3rd of my life so I probably wouldnt get rid of that If I was trying to save some bread heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THANKYOU Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 i have to check with my buddy, but he works for the cable company and i believe he said if i call to get the internet, he can hook me up with cable, but maybe not the hd box, but hey free cable would be dope. and if i wait a month before hooking the net up, i can get it for $29 bucks i believe. i should also cut my cell phone off and get back to cingular where i can get a discount through work...

LIVERWURST* Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 What a bunch of broke ass art students in this thread. 1) Cable TV is so much better than network TV, but if you're in a pinch lower it to a manageable level. Lower your cable package and get a regular box instead of an HD one. ALSO, cable companies have retention departments so just say you were offered a better deal by the local DSL company and DISH network but if you could get a good deal for 6 months you'd stay. Surf the internet to find a few actual offers from your cable company and the local competition. 2) Cell phones are a must have, turning it off will only inconvenience you. Tell people to leave you alone or don't answer it. Stop buying Xbox's and giant HD televisions and new cars and getting tattoos and all the other shit you've posted here over the years. Ride a bike to save money on gas and get exercise. If you eat out for lunch, start packing a cheap healthy meal. You're not broke because of $2000 a year in bills, you're broke because you spent money you don't have on on things you don't need... For me having TV and internet actually saves me money because I can just chill around my house and I don't get bored and want to run out to the bar or something. If you don't have the discipline to go meet people and work out, cutting yourself off from things you enjoy won't make it magically happen.

Hayabusa Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 ive considered this many times phone, its a useful tool. it can keep u in touch when u need it just turn it off when u dont wanna be called, and have some cheap basic plan tv and internet are useless tv more so internet can be free at a library so i say go for it phone is the only thing u really need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veintiocho Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I second Liver's thought on riding your bike to save $. Unless the weather is shitty where you are. Drop the cable. Out of the 100+ channels, how many are actually watchable? Maybe a dozen? Get some bunny ears for $10 and get all the regular channels for free. *edit - get those AOL 90 day free trial discs and use them for internet... pick up a new one when your limit is reached. Or get the dialup for like $8.99/month... you'll have to get used to a slow connection though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 getting dial up would be a bad idea it would get u on the computer for longer periods of time, as you wait for shit to load i found that when i got faster internet, i would get bored of it quicker, cuz everything would load right away, no waiting, and id get through all the stuff i wanted to check out online and id have no more reasons to be on plus its free at libraries...hit it up once or twice a week to check email and ch.0 and ur set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauler5150 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yeah, I'd just get rid of the TV as that is the most expensive thing you are outlaying money on. Plus there is never anythign worth watchign you can't download anyway. I never watch TV anymore, it is just a waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
