The last time I actually had cable was when I lived in a dorm at college in 2011. But I still watch everything you watch, when you watch it. I just don't pay the $100 monthly cable bill.
I don't pay for cable because it's expensive, and if you move every year (like a lot of young people in New York City do), it's a pain to set up new service over and over again.
But I use a bunch of services that help me "cut the cord" while still letting me watch almost everything basic cable provides. Here's how you can do it too.
