About 6 months ago, my 14-year old son and I agreed to try ending TV, cable, and XM radio in favor of having more money and time to pursue some "live" entertainment options.

Hulu, I-Tunes, Netflix, Pandora and picking up shows on YouTube have long been a part of teen culture, so dumping the TV was surprisingly painless. Bike rides, going to the movies with buddies and joining the high school cross country team turned out to be great ways to spend freed-up funds/time.

Recently, I heard a kid offering my son the delivery of a spare TV and Xbox. I was (silently)delighted by the reply: "thanks man... that's nice of you, but I really like my life this way."

Bye bye, TV.
