I’ll spend 6 hours researching whether I really wanna spend $1.99 on a Steam game that’s 90% off for the first time after I nearly bought it 4 times before at 50% off.

Then when my cell phone bill comes and I’m like “Yeah, I’m definitely overpaying by like $70 here…” I go “Well, too late for this one, I’ll handle it sometime in the next 30 days.”

A switch to per minute, per megabyte plan made me a lot more concious about spending money on my phone. If I want something to watch/listen to during a trip, I download it beforehand. I almost never use any minutes, only communicating via the mobile data. With autodownloading of pictures disabled in all my chat apps, it runs about 50 MB per month, which charges me less than 50 cents.
