I eliminated TV 4 years ago and noticed these benefits:

- Finished 3 years qualification in record time - Doubled my salary - Managed to complete 3 profitable side projects - Improved my software development skills tenfold - and more...

In the process, I lost friends. I used to host 300+ people parties. I doubt I can be able to bring together 20 people in one place for a party.

Sounds like you replaced more than TV with your learning and working.

You can be a couch potato and have zero friends too.

I am sure that you can rely more in those 20 people than 300+.

That's the beauty of it. I am left with real friends, not those who were hanging around me because I used to throw cool parties.
