The minimalist money article was good I thought. I have done a lot of them and working on others. One example of making changes is I told hubby I feel we should switch to a smaller cable package, primarily because I dont watch tv and he only watches the sci fi channel so I think we should cut it down a little. I have not given up on buying books, primarily because it may take me awhile to getting around to reading them but I am making an effort to check used books for what I want first.

Cable TV packages do tend to get ridiculously large; hundreds of channels. I couldn’t possible watch that much TV. Something I have noticed is that having too many choices makes it difficult to choose; which is described in detail in the book: Amazon.com: The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less (9780060005696): Barry Schwartz: Books
