One big way to save money is to drastically cut down on the amount of television you watch. There are a lot of financial benefits to this, less exposure to spending inducing ads, a lower electric bill and perhaps a lower cable bill if you downgrade your subscription more time to focus on other things in life such as a side business and so on.
great! you just saved yourself a few bucks after taking away the pleasure of watching tv. btw... only people at home without work fall for home shopping ads on tv.
the hidden savings with cutting back on tv is healthcare costs. Well, assuming you replace the tv time with somthing where you arent sitting idly by on the couch.
someone should do a study to see the correlation btw hours in front of the tv, and high healthcare costs. I'm sure it would be quite a strong correlation, especially years down the line. plus, who is going to say in 30 years "jeez I wish I had watched more tv back in my 20's!"
