Are you using it?

Back on January 4th, I recommended "If you don't use it, don't pay for it".

So, it's been over two months; are you really using the things you decided to keep paying for?

I reduced my Netflix membership to two videos at a time and thought that would be enough of a change to bring me back into a reasonable budget for my video entertainment.

The two videos I have on my shelf right now arrived on around January 19th. Apparently, no, I really don't need this membership. Time to cancel (or at least put the account on hold for 3 months since Netflix offers that civilized option, ever so handy for those of us with 499 items in their possible rentals queue).

Midway through the year I cancelled my Netflix account. I loved my queue of movies, so I copied it over to allconsuming.net and saved it there. I'm sure there are other sites that would let you do the same. The queue was valuable to me, but the actual DVDs just sat around for months.
