I’m a Retired Boomer: 6 Things I Stopped Buying to Save Money

Streaming services and free channels offer plenty of entertainment. Paying for hundreds of channels I never watch is just throwing money away.

Expensive Cable TV Packages

Generic versions have the same ingredients and cost way less. I used to think name brands were better, but now I know I was just paying for fancy packaging.

Trendy Clothes and Accessories
