If you are truly interested, I would suggest trying a few small experiments. Start with 24 hours, and see how it feels. Eventually do a week and then 30 days, and look at the benefits. If it is truly a positive change, it will be easy to find the motivation to figure out how to succeed. @Meghan Kelly – I agree it can be daunting in the beginning.

In this day and age it would take a strong person to not watch tv for a year let alone the rest of your life. But, again, it is just my opinion.

I think most people would be surprised at how much TV actually costs them if they went through and ran the numbers. I also don't think that all TV is bad, but I do think that everyone tends to watch some TV not because it's good and educational, but because they get lazy (don't we all?) and if you can learn not to watch that TV, then your finances will look much better.
