So, my wife came home last night and told me that she has a friend from work who told her a story about her cable bill that day. Every month, this girl is unable to pay her cable bill so the cable gets cut off. Then, later in the month, she ends up calling the cable company to have it turned back on when she has the cash. This happens every single month. My wife tells her that we cut our cable six months ago and we never even notice it anymore. We watch Netflix on our TV for $8 a month, and have an antenna so we can watch our favorite shows (and I can watch college basketball on Saturdays) on ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. The girl's response: "oh yeah, I really should get rid of my cable. I don't know what keeps me from doing it." My hunch is that she doesn't actually get rid of it and continues to pay for it when she has the cash.
