For sure. And Libreoffice doesn't constantly try to make you save your documents in OneDrive...
My buddy pays $100 for a cell phone service, and gets a new $1000 phone every two years. When I told him he pays $4400 every two years, his jaw dropped.
He first talked about how important it was for him to have wireless while hiking. He hiked ONCE in the past year. And if it's super important, he can rent a device during that trip.
It's ridiculous. I buy used $300 phones and pay $10-20 a month.
Same. My mother just bought the s24 because she really needed her facebook to.. run faster?
I just recently got a used Fairphone 5, which should last me some time for about 250.
In Europe? I don't think they're available in the US
"Am I getting my value out of this subscription?"
If you want to pay for GamePass, Amazon Prime, Paramount, Peacock, Hulu, etc. then by all means do so.
But each renewal, you need to ask yourself, "Am I getting the value out of this subscription to warrant the price?"
Amazon Prime was a no starting two years ago.
Spotify premium was never valuable to me.
I do have a YNAB subscription but this is slowly moving towards a no as well.
I have Google One for drive/Gmail space but that's about it.
