"The average monthly cable package is now $217.42 per month. I know it's expensive but I got to have it or I die!".

For the TAHOE place, I have a Cable TV subscription.   Paying guests expect a television experience PAR EXCELLENCE when staying places.   I've even talked about having the latest televisions there, too.    THIS is how I operate a very profitable operation there.   The fact that I don't particularly care about TV is irrelevant.   

At home,  the only signal that comes to our house is the internet.   We have 3 TVs with antennas - very seldom even turned on.

Don't waste money on crap you can't afford, but it's how fools go into debt.  Another nonsense issue that's NOT MY PROBLEM!!
