Binging Stranger Things on Netflix, Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime Video, Secret Invasion on Disney Plus, and The Last of Us on Max is a luxury. It's a favorite pastime that, while it once seemed like a small discretionary cost, is now becoming a serious drain on my finances, especially as virtually every single service raises its prices.
In my house, there is an ongoing conversation about these costs and those attached to them like the Internet that provides those streams and the Cable TV that is increasingly sidelined but at least, if not more, expensive than all the streaming services put together.
