I am a librarian by profession and somehow I also just let Spotify scam me out of $12 for audiobook hours before I realized I could binge the series I was listening to with my library's Hoopla access.

Changed my life. Can pull up a digital version of any book I'm reading anywhere (like on my laptop in class😈) completely free. Free audiobooks. Upped my literary consumption by at least 75%. Lots of TV and movies too. Unsubscribe from your streaming service. Save $15. Get a library card.

Feeling guilty about all the books you bought but didn’t read? Want to bail on a book but suffer through it instead because it was $28.99? This can all be solved with a library card. And if the library doesn’t have the book you want, you can request it to be ordered, which is pretty much always approved. Make your tax payer dollars work for you!

If they’re not making me come to the local library to prove I actually live in that city, you better believe I’m signing up to get that city’s library card and (probably) getting my ebooks and audiobooks that much faster

I’m sick of feeling powerless so my new coping strategy is to not let a stupid system bully me into quiet despair. I’m learning how to use my state’s General Assembly’s online bill tracker and I’m subscribing to email updates for the agendas and the public hearings of the legislative committees I’m most concerned about. I’m memorizing all my legislators‘ names and emailing and calling regularly.
Also: Check to see if your state’s Legislative Library has Libguides that explain in layman’s terms what bills are passing in your state and other educational/legislative resources you have freely available to you!!!

I’m up in my bank account every week writing every transaction out in a spreadsheet and I’ve never been better with money in my whole life. Also helped me notice asap when a whole mess of fraudulent transactions slipped in while I was occupied moving and otherwise wouldn’t have seen them for a while. It’s absolutely more effective than a Mint budget tracker because you have to confront EVERY purchase and contemplate what actually has value to you.
