The television blares all morning long about the impending economic doom our country is about to face. MSNBC and their little Dow Jones ticker constantly jumps from negative 777 to a positive 638 points. Who the fuck cares? It's all doom and gloom. What does this have to do with saving money? Well cancel your Cable subscription, that will help out a whoole lot.
Say what? You're addicted to TV? That can't stop you from threatening to cancel your TV subscription. For example, today I called and complained that my TV was spewing the crap of satan into my living room. I'm concerned that my non-existant children are watching too much TV. So naturally I want to cancel. But the man on the other line is sorry I want to cancel my cable TV. So he tells me about parental controls and gives me one free month of TV to "test" the tech nanny. I figured I would give it a go, why not? I'm not paying for it!
It was completely unexpected that I would get free TV for threatening to cancel my service. Perhaps we all could do the same? I'm going to try this more often. Cheers, especially to the dude who gave me free TV.
