Weighing the Cost

As I am not a supporter of television, you can imagine my frustration when I opened our Dish Network bill yesterday. $91.99 for one month. My husband was so upset he almost cancelled. I was hoping and praying, but alas he talked to the representative. They apologized and adjusted the bill to $51.99 per month. Still more than it should be.
How much is too much for television? With the stress of a poor economy I would think television carriers would be competing for customers, but I've been assured that for most people television is worth the cost. What about you? How much would you be willing to pay or are you like me and wish you could cut it completely from the budget?

I find this very interesting. I'm always amazed at people who think $15 is too much to buy a book but pay this much for television. We don't have cable/tv/dish or anything. I still think my kids watch too many movies, but at least we don't have tv.

Good for you! I completely agree. We'll drop $70 at dinner for our family. I'd much rather eat at home and go to the bookstore!
