inWhy does nobody tell you that a $40 chunk of railroad rail beats a $600 anvil for learning to move metal
Skip the anvil, let the rail teach your hands first.

inMy grandpa's envelope system taught me more about money than any app I've tried
Watched my buddy do almost the same thing after his divorce a few years back. He couldn't make apps work for him because the money felt fake on a screen, so he went full cash envelopes like your grandpa. His oops envelope was only $20 but he swore that little buffer kept him from putting gas on a credit card when his truck needed a quick fix. Last I heard he still does it and he's paid off two cards since then. Old school clearly still works for some people, no shame in it.

inJust realized I had been quitting shows at episode 4 for a whole year
Watching nine shows get abandoned at the same spot is honestly kind of impressive. You basically made a hobby out of watching pilot seasons and calling it a day. The Wire thing is real though, that show tests your patience like a bad relationship before it finally pays off. Four episodes is way too early to bail, that's usually right when the story is still setting up the pieces. I give stuff at least six episodes unless it's clearly terrible, because some of the best shows take a while to warm up. My rule is simple, if episode six still bores me then it's gone for good.
