Answer 4

I spend a lot more time online than any reasonable person should. But for me, it's cheap entertainment when I'm trying to save money.

If I'm not working during the week, I might spend 40 hours or so online (if I have nothing to do that day). But I don't watch TV and don't get any newspapers, so a lot of it is current events and research.

Also, I live across the country from most of my family & friends, so it's the best way to stay in touch.
