$2400 annually here. I'd love to ditch the cable subscription ($60/month), but without a reliable IPTV alternative Mags absolutely refuses.
The other $140 per month covers two cell phones (~$40 ea), and a landline and internet connection (~$60 once all of our long distance is added into it). I thought about removing one of the cell phones, but they're too damned useful in the end. Ditching the land line, conversely, would end up costing us more per month, between the jump in our internet price and the added features (minutes/voicemail/long distance) on the cell phones.
I think we can just call it the cost of doing business in today's world.
