Getting ready to do this myself. I have a retired iMac I'm hooking up to my TV (have to do it by composite cable, unfortunately), and am ready to drop my DirecTV. Only 2 shows I can't seem to replace on the internet: Doctor Who and X-Play. Everything else is already available for free online. Save about $80/month.
Also need to find some sort of weekly TV checklist so I don't miss anything. Got everything else figured out.
I feel qualified to answer this since I'm a health insurance agent.....
Each state has its own rules regarding health insurance. Depending on your health and your family's overall health, you may be able to find health insurance in the United States for a fairly affordable rate.
I know you can do everything online now, but there is a reason insurance agents and brokers still have jobs. I suggest seeking one out to help you find a good plan. Don't just seek out someone who calls themselves an "insurance broker," however. Deal with one that's a member of a professional and ethical organization. Check for a health insurance agent from The National Association of Health Underwriters (nahu.org) or the National Association of Insurance & Financial Advisors (naifa.org). Each has a listing of professionals that can help you with this. Three points of advice: 1.) don't buy from a family member or a close friend, get someone who will give you professionalism at all times. 2.) Don't buy from someone new in the business. I've been doing this for seven years and NO ONE I started with is still in this business. They were either sued out of the business for unethical business practices or left because they wanted to make a quick buck and found it really doesn't work that way. 3.) Make sure your broker or agent is part of a professional organization like NAIFA or NAHU. It demonstrates a commitment to their career. You don't ever want to do business with someone in any field that is not committed to their job. Especially one as dangerous as the health insurance field.
Yes, health insurance is daunting and currently is getting a bad rap, but I assure you ethical professionals are good at finding plans to meet your needs.
Sorry, but as much as I like certain games, I just do not find $60 U.S. worth of enjoyment in the games. Half that price is fine. I don't pirate nor play bootleg anything. I'm willing to legitimately pay for the games, but if I can wait 6 months to play a game, I'll find more value in it with a lower price tag than I can when it comes out. Even buying new the prices drop after a little while. $60 or even $50 is too high under most circumstances. I find my normal buy price is $20-$30 for a game: new preferred, but used is OK too.
