Mishmash Musings

There’s no question that money is tight for a lot of folks these days. It seems that nearly every personal blog I read talks of that person’s struggles to buy groceries, gas, and other basics for their family, which is depressing to say the least. I’ve also been reading a lot of posts about money-saving tips and so forth, and have actually found a couple of useful ones.

For example, it’s natural that people would want to cut back on extras first when trying to save money, which includes things like going to the movies or renting DVDs. Folks need their entertainment, though, so there have been lots of message board discussions about watching free movies online.

Although I haven’t gone this route myself, there are actually a surprising number of sites to choose from. They all offer free movies online, usually via a streaming source, and include new releases (Dark Knight, Step Brothers, etc.). They’re probably pretty crappy quality though, so there’s definitely a downside to watching this way.

I highly doubt that sites offering free movies online are legal, though. Again, I’m not recommending anything, nor am I linking to any specific sites. Just putting this out there because downloading extends far beyond high school and college students these days!
