Amazed is a good word for it. Probably could find another $70 monthly if I started cutting some things I prefer to use but have alternatives for (like cutting QoBuz because I have YT Music, PlexAmp). But yes, inflation has taken a bite and I've started to cut back on unnecessary things. permalink fedilink source parent
