I have lived without a TV for 3.5 years. I see massive chin-dropping when I tell people this. When my roommate moved out, she took her TV with her. Seeing as how I live on a 5th floor walk-up, I decided not to get one. It's been one of the most productive and money-saving decisions I have ever made.
People ask, "How can you possibly live without TV?" Simple! Hulu, ABC, NBC, CBS, WB11 have made it extremely easy to catch the programs you want, when you want them. (Okay, life was a big harder pre-Hulu.) With 30-second commercials, TV time is cut down. What I like the most about watching TV online is that fit TV around my schedule. No more remembering which show comes on when. (Not to mention, Hulu has little online-only webisodes of The Office!) And if screen size is an issue, buy a bigger monitor - they are dirt cheap these days.
Most importantly, it gives you a chance to turn around and realize what you could accomplish. I'm working full-time as a litigations consultant, taking an econometrics class at Fordham University, constantly brainstorming ideas for this blog...oh and ferociously planning/dreaming about my next travel destinations (and finding the most awesome deals of course!)
As a note: Dealnews.com had a great article about why liquidations sales are ripoffs and nothing more than a gimmick to get customers into a store. Something I didn't know! A good thing to keep in mind..."Liquidation sales aren't synonymous with discounts."
