My favorite way to not spend money is Netflix + Chill.<\/p>\n

Many a night have my husband and I weighed the option of going outside or staying in and watching TV. We\u2019ve never paid for cable in our marriage so our options are limited to the Netflix account we share with our friend Jessica. Hi Jessica!<\/p>\n

Paying off debt is more than working side jobs and saving money, it includes what we do for fun too, because you can\u2019t (and shouldn\u2019t) turn that part of yourself off for 2+ years.<\/p>\n

Netflix isn\u2019t the most productive use of your time but it is one of the most important. Netflix is as Millennial as avocado toast and beards. But you shouldn\u2019t waste precious chill time deciding what show to watch. That\u2019s where we come in.<\/p>\n

You can trust us when we give you series recommendations because we\u2019ve paid off over $66K in debt<\/a>, that\u2019s a lot of Netflix + Chill. If it wasn\u2019t sunny 248 days out of the year in St. Pete, I would have a serious Vitamin D deficiency.<\/p>\n

1. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Kimmy Schmidt is all of us. She\u2019s just a 90\u2019s girl trying to function in an adult world.<\/p>\n

The premise sounds a little boring, girl gets saved from a doomsday cult bunker then moves to New York City to start over. But the cast really makes this one a watcher.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: The New Girl & 30 Rock<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Stranger Things<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This show is so goooood! You\u2019ve probably heard about it by now but if you haven\u2019t watched it, get to it before season 2 comes out this fall.<\/p>\n

This show makes all your favorite 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s movie references. A rag tag group of boys find a girl with super powers and a friggin scary monster kidnaps their friend.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: The Goonies & Alien<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Sherlock<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The BBC version of Sherlock is hands down the best you can feast your eyes on. Sometimes you hate Sherlock and sometimes you love him but you always think he\u2019s the best.<\/p>\n

Each season has 3 episodes that are about an hour and a half each. You\u2019ll breeze through this one then get depressed when you have to wait two years for the next season, just like the rest of us.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Dr. Who & Psych<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Daredevil<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Matt Murdock is a blind lawyer vigilante with some sick fighting moves. In addition to fight scenes, it has a great storyline too.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Law & Order & Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Arrow<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I will never get over this dark and brooding anti-hero. He\u2019s got a heart of gold that\u2019s just misguided enough to make this show an on-the-edge-of-your-seater. And you might think this show is about Oliver Queen, but trust me, it\u2019s really about Felicity Smoak.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Lost & Gotham<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. The Flash<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You have to watch Arrow and The Flash together, they\u2019re part of the \u201cArrowverse<\/a>.\u201d The Flash starts after season 2 of Arrow and interchange characters throughout. It\u2019s kinda fun to have multiple plotlines intertwining.<\/p>\n

But The Flash stands on its own in terms of quality. The stories are sweet, intense, and weird all at the same time.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Smallville & Heroes<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Jane The Virgin<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I did not watch this of my own volition. We lived with a guy who\u2019s girlfriend loved it and every time it was on we\u2019d get sucked into it. It\u2019s over-the-top in all the right ways.<\/p>\n

A virgin getting artificially inseminated sounds pretty cheesy, and it\u2019s supposed to be at times, but the overall story is really compelling.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Telenovelas & Modern Family<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Parks & Recreation<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Y\u2019all should know about this show by now but just in case you\u2019ve missed any episode ever, go back and just re-watch the whole thing.<\/p>\n

This series includes the funniest people in comedy and none of them disappoint. I go back and watch an episode whenever I need a pick-me-up.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: The Office & Scrubs<\/strong><\/p>\n

9. House of Cards<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

I feel like House of Cards might be a documentary of our current political climate. But people say it\u2019s just a TV show.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re into all things slimy and political then this one\u2019s for you, but don\u2019t read too much into it.<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: The West Wing & Scandal<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Orange is the New Black<\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

This show is funny, awkward, and dark. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re into you\u2019re going to love OITNB.<\/p>\n

Good girl Piper is sentenced to a year and a half behind bars for smuggling drugs for an old girlfriend. Need I say more?<\/p>\n

Watch if you like: Weeds & That 70\u2019s Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. Quantico<\/h3>\n
