I think you'll be surprised how economical DVDs can be bought for. Also why limit to 1 year's budget? The magic of owning assets over renting is you keep them.

I think you'll be surprised how economical DVDs can be bought for. Also why limit to 1 year's budget? The magic of owning assets over renting is you keep them. If you spend 100$ a year on DVDs you'll fill up a shelf in short order. Best of all: you can pick what you want. So often I've read a recommendation for a high quality movie only to have no method to watch it despite paying for Disney and Netflix. I remember as a kid Netflix had everything, now it appears to have nothing. Meanwhile the high quality classics are the exact ones cheap and easy to buy in DVD form. Not to mention, this year is only the start. If streaming services are not bad enough value for you now, wait a few years. They are only going to get worse.
