What should I do with my New York Times subscription?
I used to subscribe to the paper edition of the New York Times. About a month ago, I decide to cut costs, as I was paying $25+/month for a subscription. Given the state of disrepair of the newspaper industry, I still wanted to support them, so I signed up for the Electronic Edition of the Times for $9.99/month. I did this despite knowing that I can read content online for free. Of course, none of this resonates with the savings-oriented part of me, especially given that I currently have no steady income flow as I have chosen to explore new and different career paths. So, I'm torn between saving myself $120 a year and supporting an industry and publication that could use a little help.

Update: I ended up doing nothing and eventually my credit card expired, so it was canceled because of that.
