I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 28 years, disabled daughter, adult son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!Today was the day of the auto deposit of $10 to savings. I transferred it to ING.

I also spent $74 on the 3rd Series DVD set of Doctor Who which came out this week and arrived in my mailbox today. It is nice living so near to an Amazon shipping warehouse. 2 day shipping for the price of 3 to 5 business days. I won't be making my usual monthly music CD purchase. Not that they are comparable in price but my deal is one purchase like this a month whether it be a movie, a DVD set, or a music CD.
Not too much going on. We've got a long weekend here. Today was early release at school and then the kids don't go back until Tuesday.
I will be taking Rose shopping for basketball shoes later this week, which will cost, and a couple pairs of winter pants. She really only has two pair now that the weather has turned and the cold season has started. Since there was snow in the rain today I need to rectify that pretty quickly. She's grown 4 inches since the start of the last cold season so not much fits. I think we can get by with only buying her two more pairs unless there is a really good sale.

If this is what you really want to do with your money, go with it (but please quit telling us about how close the Amazon warehouse is to justify it). In my view, a complete waste of valuable resources that could be put to use elsehwere. Wake up.
Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, but believe it or not, it's well intentioned.
