I'm currently doing a budget (January is always a long month, but this one will be particularly hard as my personal circumstances have changed rather a lot in the past year). I released that I had a new category to add to my usual food & drink, utilities, mortgage etc. I now have a separate section for "Information Subscriptions". Into this goes items such as my broadband, Sky+, New Scientist and PC Plus Subscriptions (among others). I realized how much I spend a year on information (currently just under GBP 1000), and how I consider such thinks important in my everyday life. It makes you realize what a different time we live in compared to just 20 years ago.
