conulyYou are all amazing, and I love everybody.
Also, it turns out I had $25 in my Paypal that I didn't even know about and I'm not sure how that happened. Using this example as instructive, I'm leaving the bulk of everybody's kind gifts in paypal and venmo until I am literally about to spend it. That is the smarter way to manage things, especially since my passwords a. aren't autosaved and b. were randomly generated so c. they're a hassle to type out. You can't carelessly fritter away money if it's not in your pocket, burning a little hole. Not that I would, but this way I can't even be nagged by thoughts like "One under $5 kindle book, what can it hurt?" or "One soda, what can it hurt?" or "One slice of pizza, what can it hurt?" and so on. I'm sure nobody would begrudge me one unnecessary expense, but what it CAN hurt is all of them. Nope. Money safe until it needs to be spent on groceries or something else essential.
