Thing of no use

It is a bit of an understatement to say that we don't have time to do a lot of the things that we used to...To that end, here is a list of expenses for things of little value:

  • Health Club Membership...who are we kidding? Yes, i would really really like to go, but i would also like some time to relax with both Rohan and L before / after work. Trying to squeeze an hour or two shouldn't be such a challenge...but it is
  • Cable TV...Hah... the "on demand" aspect of Comcast is nice, but how interesting is watching TV after Rohan has crashed out?
  • Broadband access....Can't see how we could live without it, but when one is only accessing the 'net for a few minutes here and there -- the cost seems excessive
  • Telephone...land line or even the cell...I have messages going back to July that I still haven't returned...
  • Newspaper subscription....rarely does the paper get read...and when it does, its usually a day or two later
  • Magazines...luckily the only magazine we actually pay for is national geographic -- and Rohan digs the pictures. All the others are free (freebizmag.com or via excess airplane miles) so i don't feel as bad about tossing them out after only reading a few articles in the bathroom.
Given how quickly costs rise with the baby, stripping out the $200 / month from the above expenses should free up some of the disappearing cash flow...
