Giving In

When I found out how much I spent a month on my Comcast bill, I really struggled with the concept of spending so much money each month on a frivolous 'want.' I immediately called Comcast and cancelled my 'extra' package which gave me channels like HBO and Showtime (I miss you WEEDS!).

Bam ... $50.00 of savings a month.

A few months later (in a quest to save even more money) I again called Comcast and cancelled my wireless internet.

Bam ... $50.00 of savings a month.

I've been six months without internet at my house ... and it's KILLING me!

Now that school is out (and I don't have access to the internet), I'm literally going through blogging & email withdrawals.

I had no idea how much I rely on the internet for basic communication (email) and a creative outlet (blogging).

I'm giving in and calling Comcast tomorrow. I can no longer live without interent. Here's the thing though ... it's just so expensive. I get so mad, thinking about how much money Comcast is making off each costumer. It can't be THAT expensive. Can it?

Regardless ... I'm going to look at it as paying $50.00 a month for a creative outlet. For keeping in touch with friends. For surfing the internet. For looking on perezhilton.com (my guilty, needless, shallow pleasure).

I wonder if they'll give me a good deal for being a returning customer?
