I’ve had to stop buying tofu, it’s too expensive. I also used to buy myself a cake from the local fancy bakery once or twice a month but had to jib that

A bit unrelated but anyway:
I could technically afford some of those but I chose to remove all my subscriptions to get a better life for my wife who can’t work. No more fitness apps, music streaming, movie streaming, computer clouds, big projects that have no reason to be there, or stuff where I depend on random companies.
It requires some adaptation but it works fine and I’m now in control which is better: replaced my old Mac (expensive but dying) with a mini-PC with Linux that cost me 150 Euros, replaced my dying iPhone with a cheap Android and a custom ROM, found free courses on YouTube instead of expensive subscriptions, and secured all my files to a few hard drives that I manually backup regularly.
Those subscriptions are small convenient things but it can cost a lot every month. I now have a good routine that’s only 10 minutes of checking some tasks every day, but I gained money thanks to that. And I’m in control of my own destiny which is good.
Last but not least, I’m playing the guitar again and reading books again (yeah, free activities), instead of wasting my time on stupid stuff.
