If they can find someone who knows they have potential they coule probably get a decent return . <| sep |> 1 . Get a friend with netflix . Pay them for access . $ 5 a month is still cheaper than $ 10 . If you fail to pay for that month , don ' t be a dick and use it anyways . and even if you do , they can change their password and kick you out . 2 . Library card ! ! Seriously , get to reading ! it ' s free ! Plus , like a ton of other benefits like movieshow rentals , events , etc .
