I haven't had a television subscription in 4 years.
I have saved $3,600
With that money I took three 7-day cruises, including Honduras, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Grand Turk, Cozumel and swam in a tuxedo on New Year's in the Caribbean.
What else is the difference between the gym and television?
Let's see...

If Average American spent as much time
watching television as focused on fitness,
he or she could be a master in three different areas
