But I'd also say that 40 hours of sitting in front of the TV playing Xbox is just fine. :) But either way, that time doesn't <em>cost</em> you anything. The idea that money you could be earning but aren't is the same as <em>losing</em> money is one of the reasons that the RIAA is suing single mothers. It's asinine.</p> <p>Though I will say that, in my opinion, the $90/month you're spending on cable very much is money <em>lost</em>. :)</p> Well, I’d say that 40 hours of watching broadcast TV is a waste of time.
