But if you want to be "normal" and provide your family with everything a "normal household" has, you have to pay for a lot of things on a monthly basis... Once upon a time, there were no subscriptions for the internet, television, mobile telephony & internet, and many other things. People were more relaxed and didn't have as many monthly bills as we have today. I guess that's the price of comfort that we all pay.

By the way, no one can tell you what is better, it's up to you to decide what you want & whether you can afford it.
