Libby app for e- and audiobooks, archive.org also has older books. And your library may have access to Kanopy for movies, too

Reply to comment by iamamuttonhead in Slow Horses S2 is an A by ET__
The original Slow Horses book was a very slow read for me (accidental pun) but by the end I realized it works to establish all the main characters and the overall atmosphere of Slough House vs The Park. I fell in love with the characters and have read all the books.
S1 was great and I love the casting.

I read your backposts. Please get into a drug rehab program and amp up your overall therapy. You have a life problem in addition to your money problems

Reply to Overcoming Generational Frugality by aspiringsomebody
I too grew up in a frugal family. House things only got replaced if my dad could no longer fix it, there was no such thing as a “refresh”, vacations were by car a couple times a year…you get the picture. And this mindset is strongly embedded in my DNA and money outlook.
I don’t replace things because they’re considered outdated or “old”. Still driving my 2010 Accord: yes I can afford something new, but I love this car, runs great and I don’t care. I have a standard refrigerator (that’s considered geriatric) with no icemaker, IDGAS about a smartfridge. I don’t toss my bootcut jeans for skinnies because some influencer says theyre “out” (plus I just look better in bootcut)
That said, I replace things when “new” has value TO ME. I buy myself nice jewelry, I’m drinking better wine lately. And I’m financially secure, THAT’S what’s important to me rather than spending more of my immediate disposable income
