This morning I added up what I pay per month for condo fees, insurance, property taxes and "communication services" (i.e. landline, cell phone and internet), but not food, clothing etc.
I found that the communication things are a full 20% of the total. And I don't have cable TV, just Netflix and BritBox (which I did not include in the monthly total).
When I grew up in the 1950s people paid to have a telephone.
Then cable TV came along. Then the internet and cell phones.
Yet, in this modern world I cannot imagine not having the internet and my cell phone. It just seems like a huge part of my necessary expenses. I pay more for these things that I do property taxes.
