So given your average monthly spend, how many more months is that?

My current average savings is $122, so 8.2 months.

 

That average has been increasing over time because some the series I was buying have come to an end and I've replaced them with OTA and Amazon Prime content. Due to that I expect the payoff to be between 7 and 8 months from now (December/January).

 

Amazon Prime picking up the HBO shows has also helped a lot as I decided to not buy shows I was going to, like True Blood, and just wait for them to show up - currently the first 3 seasons are available on AP.

 

If I hadn't bought the Drobo I'd have paid off the setup in Feburary, though I'm glad I did as I've found that I really like being able to record (a number of) older series then wait for episode 1 to show up before I start to watch the show.
