Here’s a list I ran across that tracks well with my life: 10 things you shouldn’t buy in 2014<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cable TV<\/strong> – I watch on Youtube, Netflix, Hulu. The largest screen in my house is 17″ across, but I prefer to watch TV on the 15″ screen I’m sitting at while typing this right now.<\/li>\n
  2. Landline phone service<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. GPS devices<\/strong> – This week when I was driving Megan’s Prius I set my Android running Google Maps in front of the GPS screen in the car. The car’s GPS is kinda terrible<\/li>\n
  4. DVD and Blu-ray players<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Hotel Rooms<\/strong> – Airbnb is the thing baby!<\/li>\n
  6. Two-year cell phone contracts<\/strong> – I’m in Virgin Mobile now and maybe changing to AIO Wireless (which runs on Cingular’s old service. I loved my old Cingular before AT&T ate it. Ma Bell recently spat it out again as “AT&T Mobility<\/a>“)<\/li>\n
  7. Desktop and Laptop Computers<\/strong> – I’m seriously thinking of getting a Phablet phone (one of those giant screen phones that’s almost a tablet). And My Desktop computer now sits idle most of the time :-(<\/li>\n
  8. Extra Legroom in Economy<\/strong> –<\/li>\n
  9. Credit Cards with Points or Miles Programs<\/strong> – They say the 1-5% cash back cards are becoming the rage. I dunno about that, I’ve been working those airline deals pretty well. We’ll see how it goes.<\/li>\n
  10. Digital Cameras<\/strong> – Seriously, why carry a small camera when your phone has an awesome one? Maybe a pro DSLR is worthwhile if you need the pro flexibility<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
