Think about your worst personal habit. Odds are, it involves your TV. You might sit for hours in front of the boob tube, turning your brain to mush with reality TV. Or, you might feed your shopping addiction with QVC. And don’t forget the number of cheese puffs you can put away while watching TV without even realizing it. With that in mind, I put together the following five reasons to get rid of your TV, so that you could break your worst personal habit or even prevent a few. I even included tips on how to get rid of the blasted appliance.

 

1. TV does not do your IQ any favors. Forget for a minute the dozens of educational channels available via cable and satellite because, admit it: You don’t watch them enough to make owning a TV or paying for the channels worth it. That programming is often available online, allowing you to ditch your TV and spend the time reading a book or taking a class instead. There are numerous companies that specialize in the removal of TVs for either junk purposes or recycling. Simply pull up your favorite search engine and enter TV disposal Milwaukee.

 

2. TV brings out your addictive personality. If you are attempting to stick to a budget, the last thing you need to see is a commercial advertising the latest sale at Macy’s or the drastic discounts at The Dump. It also pushes your diet off track. Well, hello, commercial for Pizza Hut. Yes, I would like to try the new crusty, make-me-fat breadsticks. If you lack willpower, TV is your worst enemy. Even with a DVR, it’s impossible to avoid every commercial.

 

3. TV makes you fat. Speaking of DVRs, if you didn’t have yours set to tape 20 different shows each week, you might just have time for the occasional workout or brisk walk around the block. Again, simply pull up your favorite search engine and enter TV disposal Milwaukee if you want to get rid of your TV and get back your girlish, or boyish, figure. Or, you might just be getting one for the first time in your life if you were raised in a family that worshipped the almighty appliance.

 

4. TV costs money. Sure, you could simply plug your TV into broadcast TV, but what is the point. You can get all of your news and popular programming on the TV network’s websites. Plus, the soaps are dying faster than writers can bring their characters back to life.

 

5. TV makes you one of many. Be one of the few instead. When someone asks you if you’ve seen the latest “Jersey Shore” drama, simply say, “Oh, I got rid of my TV. It’s changed my life.” Yes, many of your friends will roll their eyes, but secretly, they will envy your strength and newfound freedom from TV.
