I had a bank account as a kid/teenager but I rarely used it. I guess I just kept the insignificant amount of cash I had to my name on my person. I don’t even remember the name of the bank – the only one in town – where I had an account. When I moved …
I don’t have cable or broadcast television. I watch almost exclusively via the internet (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video). I pay my $8/mo. to Netflix and am fairly happy – though not as happy as when DVDs were still included in the price. So, I love Netflix – but I also want to note just …
