It's the cutest little house.
So what? You made the incorrect claim that someone who "likes TV" would never choose to relinquish cable for the sake of having savings. You are wrong. I'm a HUGE TV addict. When I had to make a choice between cable TV and making monthly savings, there was no question which one I'd choose. The cable company got a call and I canceled service. I would not HESITATE to make the same choice again.
There's no WAY I would choose cable service over savings; it's a stupid, ridiculously foolish choice. You act like the idea of bundling services is a unique one. It's not. I've done it. So what? If bundling didn't result in money FOR SAVINGS, bundling wouldn't be enough of a cut and I'd cancel service until I could afford to save AND have cable again.
It's not that it's Lois The TV Hater Of the Universe doesn't "get" your obsessive need for cable; it's that lots of us, TV addicts included, don't understand how you can pay for ANY non-necessity before your family is provided for and Savings is part of providing for your family. WAY before cable is (or should be).
I don't care how much money you 'saved" by bundling your cable services, so you can save that particular dead/smelly redherring for someone else. If it didn't result in your being able to save, it served no purpose.

We do save but in Lois' opinion, I should cut cable...
No, Lois, and just about everyone else here has said that IF, let me say it again, IF, IF, IF, IF, you want to save more, you CAN cut cable.
