Debt Dumpers 2025

I really don't go out of my bubble outside of work. I might drive through DFW Airport 2-3 times per year. That was just the last time I did. I had to run down to Arlington for work, so tolls were paid for by my company (well they come out of my toll account then are reimbursed). That's the only reason I went through there and not way out of the way. But overall, we try and avoid tolls (I do anyway, DW has to drive on them to get to work). We also will use PGBT instead of 635 for obvious reasons if we're going out east toward home. But other than those rare occasions and DW going to work, we try and not to use tolls. I don't have to use them on a daily basis, thank goodness.

Yes, it does make sense. It's accomplishing exactly what their goal is. They do not want people using the road as a pass through highway and causing additional traffic. There are multiple routes around the airport that don't charge tolls.

People who are using the airport for it's intended purpose - driving to or from a terminal for a flight - pay less.

No offense, but I think the act of using the expensive toll road rather than an alternative around the airport is consistent with your broader financial challenges others have noted. It's a mindset about money. I drive in the vicinity of the airport weekly, and I never pass through (I think only 1-2 times over 15 years in very extreme circumstances). It's frankly not even faster to drive through the airport, especially with all the construction.

For those who have streaming subscriptions, I'm found that Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to score awesome deals on them. The past two years, I've gotten Peacock for $20 for the year and Disney+ with the Hulu add-on (or maybe it was the other way around) for a total of $5 per month. Yes, for Disney, I need to be a "new subscriber," but that just required switching to a different email address. To keep from forgetting to cancel before the promotional period expires, I just have a post-it note on my calendar to remind me a couple of weeks in advance.

I haven't heard of any deals so far for this year, but I'm going to be keeping my eyes pealed. And if they don't have them, I can totally live without one or both of them for a while.

I saw a deal posted today for a Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) bundle with purchase of a full-year subscription. I believe this is on the Hulu site, or will be later this week.

I went on there to do it. I was going to subscribe, and I created a new username. But when it showed me prices, it was $12.99/month. Still not bad. But I also wanted to do that one with no ads cause DW hates ads, but I didn't find one.
