I've read over 50 books since the start of the year. I only buy a book after I've read it 2-3 times. How? Sign up at your local library! (And keep signing up wherever you can get proof of residence; I've managed to collect 4 library cards.) And then find whatever system they have for borrowing e-books (mine work well with Libby). I've found that I almost never lack for books. A kindle or e-reader could be a good investment to limit screen time; you can download library e books onto them auite often.

Browsing the physical library is more fun than browsing online for books. Just pick the covers you like, check if the summary sounds fun, and give it a shot. Never feel guilty if you don't read a book you checked out or put a hold on. Sometimes it just doesn't sound as good two days later.

Not quite an idiom but term of endearment: petit chou in French is little cabbage but is often used for young kids...

 

I don't even know if it's 'churning' yet until I've cancelled and gotten the bonus again in a few years.

But I had the 60k miles post to my united account and it felt like magic! Almost done with the spend on a second chase card and working to get my fiance his united card. It's been a frustrating application process because they made him go through some Identity checking procedures and he's been not very excited about the whole thing unlike me.

How do you feel it compares to YNAB?
