How to Keep Your TV From Spying On You

How to Keep Your TV From Spying On You

Did you know that your television set might have spied on you? It’s not just your cable or satellite company that knows a lot about your TV viewing habits.

10 Clever Tricks to Save Money Now

10 Clever Tricks to Save Money Now

The tips in articles about saving money are often ridiculous and/or the same old tips you’ve seen dozens of times.

I read a post recently that advised paying off your mortgage more quickly. I don’t know why anyone would pay down their lowest interest rate loan if they also have high interest credit card debt.

Monthly Cash Savings Challenge: Lower Your Cable or Satellite TV Bill

Monthly Cash Savings Challenge: Lower Your Cable or Satellite TV Bill

We tossed around the idea of getting rid of our pay TV service for years before finally cutting the cord last summer. I thought it would take way more time than it did. I also thought I’d miss it much more than I actually did.

Seriously, my family doesn’t miss our satellite TV at all. However, I’m not suggesting that everyone needs to cut the cord in order to pay less for TV service.…

However, these 10 things contribute so much to my life that I’d really hate to live without them. This list isn’t all inclusive, but these are the things that come to mind when I think of what really makes my life easier and fuller.…
