Should you cut the cable cord…?

A question I’ve started to consider of late: Is it time to end my association with cable services?  Because of the many streaming services available, I’ve become more and more curious whether doing so might save me money while still allowing me to see the stuff I want to see.

But if your interest is largely economic (and whose isn’t?), Slate magazine’s Chris Kirk offers a handy online calculator which allows you to check to see how much you might save if you were to cut your cable bill and join those streaming services:

Very interesting food for thought!
