I don't buy things unless I have to part 8

Transcript

I don't buy things unless I have to part 8. I don't buy streaming services. However, I do have one streaming service. I have Netflix and I only pay $7.99 a month for it. Assuming, okay? Last year I did no Netflix. But you know what? I'm a teacher and after a long day of teaching, I want to come home and turn on Netflix and pick a show or movie. Am I paying $27 a month for premium? No. Am I paying $20 a month for standard with no ads? No. I'm paying $7.99 a month with ads and some titles of shows and movies available. I don't have the full catalog and I'm okay with that. I don't mind the ads whenever I'm watching something and an ad comes on, that is like my TikTok time for like two minutes and then I'm back to whatever I'm watching. I'm just grateful I get to come home and watch my shows without spending unnecessary money. What plan do y'all have? What streaming services do you have? Let me know. Love you guys.
