Cancelling various things
Big wins:
Cancelled amazon prime → next day delivery massively increases the amount of things I buy from them. Huge reduction in amazon purchases this month! Enormous savings
Realised I could cancel my Adobe yearly subscription early (with a £70 cancellation fee 😅)
Realised I’ve been paying for a gym that I haven’t visited in ~1 year without realising, at £23/month 😅 😭
Reckoning with my “book buying addiction” - probably bought ~15 books recently, stupid as they take a long time to read!
Spending/purpose
No rent and almost no food as living at my mums ✅
£140 on family therapy
Too much on books!
Software (cancelled a bunch of things)
Healing
£70 family therapy x2
Body
Turns out I’ve been paying £23 a month for a gym I signed up to probably a year ago when I was in Blackpool short-term 😭
Re: invisalign → £1,995.00 total, £83.12/month, I’ve got £664.96 left to pay
expensive but worth it IMO, my teeth were getting noticeably wonkier over time as I lost my post-braces retainer when I was an undergrad
Social
Books
Socrates books
John Vervaeke recommended the top 3 for his “After Socrates” series. I read the Ward Farnsworth book in ~3 days and made loads of flashcards from it (e.g. 06. Learning the Socratic method, part 1 → the rationale) → totally worth the money, I really enjoying scribbling in the hardback
Entertainment
Learning
£39 for a month of Superprof. It’s insane that you have to pay that much just for the privilege of messaging tutors. But, I figured I’d pay for 1 month, message as many people as I need, then cancel and no longer need their platform
And I got to have two free calls with possible philosophy tutors, and I chose one of them to go ahead with, who gave me readings (Superprof tutor lesson 1 (The Fundamental Decision)), so, worth the money!
Food
Some snacks to celebrate getting my contractor role at Outcapped
