I hope you grow to love it. Although I don't know how the rest of us can handle you being any MORE productive. Be inspired, I guess.

We got rid of cable about a month ago, and the only thing I really miss is my news channel. The kids are watching cartoons and movies we already own, or the tv is shut off all together.

We've cut our grocery budget (not that there ever really was a budget, but did cut what we were spending) by over half, and I am building up quite the stockpile. Next on the list is learning to can food myself.

Maybe you and I can go shopping for matching calico for our bonnets.

Wow! You stepped on my toes! We sooo need to simplify but haven't decided to deal with that pain yet. I think your hubby really is very wise!

if you want to come over for lunch, I'd be glad to teach you how to make bread. I'm sure the $600 in fuel costs would be worth it.

It's amazing how we tend to be walking similar paths at the same time...and I smelled those whole wheat discus thingies the other day, they smelled amazing.

Change has been painful for us as well, but as it turns out, we really haven't been missing cable at all. And, Abby's a pretty good cribbage player, turns out.

I feel your pain! We cut out cable about a year ago. That was hard to start with, but has gotten easier. We looked at what percentage of our bills are spent where last night. It was eye opening! My goal for this month is to only go grocery shopping. Here's to more pain!

I love it!! We LOVE not having cable around here!...well..usually :-) It really does get you more into family time. Sounds like you guys have a great plan going! Good luck!..

Oh, what a great post! You put skin and bones on simplification. Sort of makes us all feel like we can tell ourselves to take a new path. A miracle to be sure! I'd be on my seat if I were you. Maybe God will part the Red Sea right down the middle of your living room next.

We too have been "simplifying" to pay down debts, but are stuck. We can't cut out the excesses because they are tied into our HOA fees...and we HAVE to pay those! So we're cutting where we can...mainly eating out and groceries.

I'll be here cheering you guys on. Keep us up to date!

People think that I am nuts for not having internet or cable. We just finally got a 2nd cell phone this summer. It is amazing what things you can live without.
Good luck on your simplification.
Love & Prayers
