I don't think we could afford half of that stuff... although, being IN the game industry means you could get some money back in taxes if you count it as research? dunno.
I have my cell... $50 (roughly) Netflix... $20 Library card (free in theory, but really, if you look at late fees... $6) Rhapsody... $25 quarterly? (something like that) Internet provider (and thus, most cheapo land line available, which I don't even have a phone plugged into)$60
no cable, tivo, or online game services of any kind. We don't watch tv (except for Netflix).
I turned off the cable and random TV watching, about the time that I became a single parent. It was just one more thing that was sucking money and time. We play a lot of board games, and read to each other a lot... and make good use of Netflix. I have memberships to my favorite museums, and we like drawing together, sometimes.
We've tried cooking together, but so far,it's been a dismal failure, as I can't seem to live up to the high standards of the establishment. Six year olds are brutal.
