Not having Cable...Not so bad?

I've recently decided to not go with having cable in my apartment to save some extra money. Right now I am struggling to get used to this adjustment because I have been watching cable all my life, especially the Disney Channel. I don't even have a DVD player yet.

But I have had some great perks from not having cable.

-I spent a one time sunk cost of $10 for an antenna rather than the $60 a month to pay for cable.
-Time I got back: I've spent more time reading since I stopped having cable
-I still get to watch the shows I love. I only keep up with two: Gossip Girl and Grey's Anatomy, I have the CW and ABC, so I get what I need.
-I spend more time watching the news and keeping myself informed of the world happenings, something I didn't think I had time for before.

Try to challenge yourself with not having cable, you will have a fatter wallet and more time for yourself.
