Improving your affluence

I have recently decided to subscribe to a few newspapers on my kindle.  They cost abvout 6-7 dollars each a month.  It does feel like I am stretching my budget, but really, am I?  I must say I do not anticipate reading all of what is printed each day, but I do have a few favorite papers and I do wish to see more of what they print, rountinely.  I have the Miami Herald (I lived there a year), the Cleveland Plain Dealer and of course, the New York Times.  I decided to learn more about Texas as well and subscribed to the Austin American-Statesman.  I did live in Texas a few times and would like to learn more about Texas.   I must say that I am embarrassed to be an American when the woman who ran for Vice President and has been in office in the highest of offices in a state could not even mention one newspaper that she read when prompted. I personally believe that she rarely read the papers.   So thus, I have improved my own affluence.  ( I may cancel one or two of the papers. But I am certain that 2 papers will be in my future for sure.  And I am not including the local paper).

  1. Well, On further thought, I am going to cancel the subscription to the Austin American-Statesman. I do plan to buy a copy periodically, but I have no plan to read 4 kindle newspapers a day. I'll keep the other 3 for sure. I do read a local paper too, but its way too short to get grossly involved. Good comic section though. :)

  2. Update, I have cancelled my subscriptions to the kindle papers. It got too expensive. I will be ok with the local newspaper and the tv news for now. I occasionally get a kindle paper here and there. I think my affluence is ok.
