Looking Back on Two Years of Cord Cutting
October 31st marked the end of year two of Cord Cutting in the Stapleton household. Â I’m always evaluating what I’m doing, so two years in is a good time to pull some reports from Quicken and see how I did(who doesn’t categorize every transaction and can pull reports on demand).Â
