Spending Your Entertainment Money Wisely…at Home

In today’s economy everyone has had to cut-back on spending. Even when the economy does comeback, consumers will be cautious about how they spend their money.

To make a point, do the math, a simple trip for a family of three (Two adults and one child) to the movie theater can cost more than you think.  Let’s say we are going to see “Tooth Fairy” tonight…Two adult tickets are $10.50 each and the child’s ticket is $8.00, that is $ 29 just to get in the door. Then a stop by the concession stand. If everyone gets a drink, popcorn and a candy…Believe it or not, it can easily be $50. Don’t forget the gas it takes to get there and back home. And after all that “Tooth Fairy” turned out to be a huge dud. $90 bucks. Gone. (What if we had gone to see “Avatar” in 3D…tickets for a family of 3, …$53.50 just to get in. That is more than just a simple night out of entertainment…that’s $100 commitment.

The trend right now is to remodel or simply re-tool your home to make your home more “user friendly” Why go out when your home can entertain you. Most homes have an area that can be turned into your own private home theater and for a lot less money than you think.  The electronic technology such as digital surround sound, HD projectors and Blu-ray DVD players has gotten not only better but, more affordable.

In the past, many people shied away from a projector because of cost and quality however, projectors are more affordable, not as bulky and can give you a much larger picture along with a true “theater” feel. Believe me, there is nothing like watching a great action Blu-Ray movie or a NFL game on a 110” screen with 7.1 surround sound. (All in the comfort of your own home.) Everyone will want to come to your next Super-bowl party.

A home theater is not just an enjoyable addition to your home but, it adds value. A home theater it is not like a swimming pool that you get to enjoy only in the summer months (when it isn’t raining), you can use a theater year round, anytime. Anyway you look at it; a home theater system is a wise way to invest your money in your home, for resale or just for pure enjoyment.
