How to Kill Cable & Save $1,200+ a Year

Learn 5 Ways to Stream Your Favorite Shows & Sports

Are you tired of...

Paying $200+ a month for dozens of channels you never watch?

Being stuck in a contract with a cable company?

Paying fees for everything?

Feeling like you have no good option when it comes to TV?

What could you do with an extra $8,000?

A simple move to a streaming service could save you $100 or more per month. Over seven years (which is how long ago we cut the cord), that’s savings you can put toward:

  • A new car
  • Your retirement
  • College savings
  • Vacation
  • Investing


The options are literally endless.

Our Story

We’re John and Nicole Schmoll. We live in Omaha, Nebraska, with our three children. In addition to cord cutting, we run FrugalRules.com, a personal finance site and community dedicated to helping people find financial freedom.

Over the last decade, we’ve helped countless people learn to budget, invest, kill debt, and earn more money.

The journey has been so rewarding! Nothing encourages us more than when a reader or viewer shares that the tips they’ve learned from us have helped them achieve their financial goals.

We’ve seen people:

  • Pay off $75,000 or more of debt
  • Buy a house for the first time
  • Retire when they want
  • Break the paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle

We’ve seen time and again that the path to financial freedom is paved with small steps. That’s why were so excited to share the secret to killing cable.

It’s one of the easiest ways to SAVE BIG, SPEND LESS and put your MONEY TO WORK FOR YOU!

We had cable for years before we realized putting our money to work for our own financial independence is far better than blindly forking it over to the cable company. We tried cancelling several times, but their seemingly awesome deals kept us signing contracts.

Then we discovered streaming TV!

We know you can get what you want AND save $100+ each month!

Reasons to consider streaming live TV include:

  • Save $100 or more per month!
  • No contracts
  • No fees to change or cancel your service
  • Pause, start or stop anytime!
  • Get the channels you want for the price you want to pay!

Where do you start?

Choosing a streaming service can feel overwhelming. There are so many services.

How do you know which one is right for you?

How do you avoid overpaying?

What do you need to stream?

How fast does your internet have to be?

These are just a few of the questions we answer in our Kill Cable Cord Cutting Course. In it, we show you:

  • What you need to stream
  • Internet requirements, devices and services
  • How to set a streaming budget
  • How to find the best streaming service for your needs and budget
  • The best live TV and on-demand services
  • How to get your local channels free, for life
  • How to call your cable company and cancel
  • How to set up an antenna
  • How to find a new internet service provider

We give you ALL the tools you need to cancel cable and still watch your favorite shows and games, while saving $1,200 or more each year!
