My cable package is less per day than the cost of a latte at Starbucks. I could have gotten this at any point after I started working at 16, when I was nowhere close to being one of the top 10% of earners in the country.
I'd argue that even the most expensive cable/satellite package is a "non-issue" to everyone but the bottom quintile .
The cost of cable is something I've heard everyone I know, every relative, every acquaintance complain about at some point. A typical high-end cable TV and internet bundle costs more than most people spend on electricity, heating, water, sewer, cell or landline phone. Only 61% of American households have wired cable television service at all.
If that cost doesn't affect you at all (and you think comparing to a daily latte from Starbucks, something else most people can't afford, is a useful analogy), yeah, it's something to keep in mind when evaluating this article and the comments. Your perspective may be a little different than the respondents.
