Could DirectTV Now Offer the Best Deal for Cord Cutters?

If you have been following my blog, by now you know that I am a big fan of cutting the cord and finding ways to stream television.

Some people believe that all millionaires are crooks and only have their millions because they inherited their wealth.

Year of Frugality: Month 2 Update

Well February is over and I am pretty happy with the progress we made this month. Despite our struggles with more unexpected expenses, we still found a way to cut back and come out under budget in February (Yippee). We even took a little trip to the Austin area to visit my wife's grandmother. This trip was great for our family as we visited a state park, went hiking and then enjoyed a nice lunch. A couple weeks after that trip, we got the opportunity to watch Garth Brooks in concert. Both of us have always wanted to see Garth, but never had the opportunity. Luckily, he came to the Houston Rodeo!
