The Best Alternatives to Cable TV…So You Can Save a Ton of Money and Still Watch Your Favorite Shows

Alternatives to Cable TV

Want to find out the best alternatives to Cable TV so you can save a boatload of money and still see all your favorite shows?  It’s easier than you think. This post lays out exactly how to watch TV without cable and lists the best cable alternatives that are currently available.


 

In my pursuit to be financially free, I’ve cut out a lot of things – pedicures, travel, shopping trips, restaurants, gym memberships, new clothes, etc. If it’s an expense, I’ve either cut it, or considered it. So obviously cable had to be put on the chopping block eventually.

What I didn’t realize was that by cutting the cable, I’d actually open myself up to watching way more TV (with no commercials) and save a boatload of money.

Not only is this a smart move to make, but it’s the direction we’re all headed, so you’re not alone. The younger half of the millennial generation doesn’t even sign up for cable when they get their first apartment anymore. So if you’re still paying for cable, you’re not just throwing money out the window, you’re also old. 😉

So what’s the trick to cutting your cable bill without giving up your late night source of entertainment?

The Next Book You Have to Read: The Little Book of Hygge

The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living

I’ve been so lucky lately to come across a number of enjoyable and inspirational books that I just haven’t been able to put down (except, of course, when those books have me running to incorporate whatever special tips they’re providing). The Little Book of Hygge was no exception.  I was excited the second I added it to my library list and it definitely did not disappoint!

I had been reading a lot about hygge and the more I read, the more articles and resources started to pop up (don’t you just love how social media does that for you… ;-)).  So when I came across a highly-rated book dedicated to hygge at the library, I knew I had to read it.

7 Documentaries that Will Inspire Veganism

These documentaries about veganism are the perfect way to launch a healthier lifestyle!

No matter what the topic may be about, documentaries have a funny way of getting my totally motivated and worked up (especially these vegan documentaries!).  So when I know I need some motivation or inspiration for something specific, my Netflix queue is one of my first late-night stops. In this case – documentaries that inspire veganism and healthy living.

A vegan diet is hard.  It’s also empowering and satisfying…and if you do it right, really healthy. But it’s hard, especially in the beginning.  And it can be really difficult to find support and information, which is why these vegan documentaries are a must-watch for anyone embarking on a vegan diet. They’ll give you all the information you need, tips and secrets, and most importantly the motivation you need to keep going!

Get ready, you’re about to become a true vegan whether you like it or not!

The Next Amazing Book You Need to Read: You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

Wow, I can’t even believe it’s happened.  I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE BOOK. It may actually be better than The Miracle Morning (even though The Miracle Mornings is STILL a must-read for everyone).

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life is brilliant.  Jen Sincero actually makes self-improvement cool.

This book was so amazing that after I read it from the library, I actually purchased it just to have a hard copy to reference.

(And I’ve read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.  So I don’t own books.  But now I own this one.)

The Next Book You Have to Read: The Millionaire Next Door

The Millionaire Next Door, by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko, had been on my list forever. I had pushed it off because I thought it would be similar to the various other “tips to become wealthy” books, but I was totally wrong.  

This book is an absolute must read for anyone that wants to be truly financially free or hopes to make a substantial amount of money in their lives…and it’s unlike any other book I’ve ever read.
