Cutbacks

At least one of the people who I know follows my journal is also someone who I've been supporting on Patreon. That's why it pains me that I feel obliged to cut back on a lot of my optional expenses, which includes Patreon and other subscriptions. This latest auto expense is something that is making me re-evaluate where I've been spending my money. We're not in the poorhouse by any measure (indeed, there are times when I'm astonished at how well I've done), but the curve is currently in the wrong direction.
