Streaming versus DVDs
I saw this funny article in the NYTimes. While it isn't about fitness content I thought it summarizes the rent versus own calculations we make here:

What's really insane is paying $200+ a month for cable! We also have all those services, but after dumping cable, our monthly bill for internet plus streaming is over $50 less than if we had kept the triple-threat package. I also love how you can unsubscribe and resubscribe to streaming services without any penalties, and watch them on your phone or tablet any place there is internet.

Oh my. This article is so true! We have lots of box sets of our favorite shows. And whenever I look at fitness DVD's I check out the box sets people have donated. There are lots of gems to be found for cheap! All the subscription services do add up!
On a side note, my hubby told me that StubHub has teamed up with a financial firm so people can finance concert tickets (at a reasonable 10-20% interest rate!) As if concerts weren't expensive enough, now you can pay finance charges on top of the ticket price and service fees!
