Hey good luck with that. I'm trying to do something similar and just pick up the books I really like and use Hoopla/Marvel Unlimited for the rest.

I am down to about 10 titles a month. Sadly some of those titles are bi-weekly so I am still spending the same amount of money.

62 is crazy. I have half that on Comixology and it feels like a lot. And that's with a lot of those being on neverending hiatus. (Kaptara, you were too weird for this world.)

Yeah I get maybe a dozen and I still don’t read most of them until the arc ends. They’re mostly indies that I just hope make it to trade in the first place.

I'm aware that it's still quite a bit, but I think it's way more manageable now compared to what I was doing before.

Eh, I think you came into more disposable income at some point and just ended up sinking a lot of it into comics, right? I totally get it, I've done the same with other forms of entertainment. The serial nature of the form makes it a bit easier to drop regular amounts of money on it than if you just go a bit nuts buying a console and a bunch of games or something.

I started up my first job that wasn't just a temporary one month thing last year, and not having much in the way of expenses that just led to adding on more and more.

Put out a cigarette on your wrist every time you buy a comic, I heard that helps you quit.

Switch to only buying comics when they go on sale on comixology. If you buy DC primarily you eill never spend money.

The problem with the findom idea is that you also have to pay the findom, so you don't end up saying anything.

Gun kata was a thing well before the matrix, but the matrix was the first time a bunch of white people did it.
