I would be embarrassed to post a list like that. This "consooming" just for the sake of it. Like part of their identity is paying for subscription services. I wish I had the writing skills to fully elaborate on why this irks me so much.


That seems like a profoundly ungenerous take to have on someone making a fairly honest post about them realizing they'd let their finances get away from them. It's not as if they're bragging about how much they spend. Presumably these are all things they started paying for because they found enjoyment or value in them at the time - no different than why anyone else pays for anything.


The best things in life are free.


While we're throwing out cliches, I pay far more than this for health care and health insurance. I can promise you that me being alive still is the best thing in my life, and it is definitely not free.


I think you are projecting quite a lot here
