What I'm saying is that historically, if they unbundled and stopped forcing all the non-sports-watchers to subsidize ESPN, you'd actually end up paying MORE than 82.99 per month.

The only way to unbundle it and your price for sports to actually decrease, would be for ESPN to take a massive pay cut. And maybe they will, but it's really not in Disney's nature to decrease prices over time.
well, $82.99 is for over 100 channels

if they have a sports lineup with less than 30 channels, there's some savings in omitting 75 other channels (not all of them are free)

Going against the suggestions here of hopping into the stock market early last year and going with gold.  For some reason, I figured the Fanta Fascist would create instability.
15% gains vs 54% gains

Math is fun.

I'm very pleased with my 31% return in 2025.

Just rebalanced, a little more conservative now.

I don't think I have any precious metals - I'll have to ask my advisor
I'm pretty sure I don't own any crypto

No precious metals or crypto for me. Too volatile IMO.
