I never had Netflix nor Spotify and I am not poor. I always thought that having Netflix and Spotify is some kind of luxury. Not a big one, but those services are not cheap, if you're on a tight budget.
- barbazoo 11mo agoIf you're a family it's much cheaper to have Netflix, spread these $20 over 4 people a month than going to the movie theater for $100+ every time. These $20/month are already out of reach for many, I realize that.

- qwertox 11mo agoI see. Makes sense.
- bluGill 11mo agoOr you can do without both - as a large number of people do. Taking that family to the movie theater once per year is a lot cheaper than a monthly netflix subscription, which is another option.
- bombcar 11mo agoIf you're a poor family you're better off with not having Netflix or go to the movies; you just watch DVDs and stay home. The underlying problem not talked about in all this is how our entire financial system is built around charging you a bit more than you can bear, but not actually driving you into bankruptcy. Then a huge percentage of your income goes to interest payments.
