When is enough money enough money?

[AverageOldGuy]

We are 80-yr-old retirees, recently moved from our big house into a small apartment. Wife likes to watch major league baseball but now we discover it's damn near impossible to get a MLB game on TV -- ESPN, major network, anywhere that is included in our cable package (Xfinity) -- it's almost all on subscription-required streaming services and we are NOT about to pay an extra $100-plus monthly to subscribe to a dozen or more streaming services -- not to mention it's very confusing trying to find them using our TV remote.

They likely will not miss our paltry monthly subscription fee but we, too, will not miss the hit to our bank account, that increases every time some streaming service CEO needs a raise.

We are using our public library more and more.

1. mlb.tv

I have friends that subscribe to MLB service and they get every game every team. I don't watch enough baseball to justify the costs but am tempted every year.

2. How I wish that was all my problem and money worries were.

I am poor but obviously I do have an internet provider so with my smart tv and what I can stream online I have plenty to watch on TV.

3. I sometimes wish we DID get US TV

Not for Sports, I couldn't care less about that, but just to hear some of my favorite old reruns in English instead of German (they dub everything into German, even Swiss German programs!).

I could probably get some satellite device, but for the four hours a month I could probably spare, it hardly seems worth it. They way things are going in Germany these days, we'd spend more time trying to get the thing repaired than we would watching it while it was functioning.
