I’m Giving Up TV

I was reading an article late last night about the amount of time we spend watching TV.

The average person now watches 4.5 hours of TV a day.
To put it into perspective, if you watch an average of 31.5 hours of TV each week (which the average person in the US does) and you value your time at minimum wage of $5.85 an hour, you are spending nearly $800 a month ($798.53) to watch TV. That comes to nearly $10,000 ($9582.30) a year.

I’ll go ahead and state now that I don’t spend near as much time watching TV as the average person spends. I spend a lot of time on the internet reading, writing and trying to figuring out new and better ways to make money online.

However, I do feel that I’m losing a lot of valuable time sitting and watching TV shows that bring no value to my life at all and I’m willing to cut those out of my life.
