   I went over bank records and apparently I make most of my worst spending decisions from September to February. Falls off a cliff in March.

   I made one yesterday. Bought a domain for yet another persona. Put it on my list of renewals, all yearly on the day of initial registration, and they’re all in that range. At least this one is in the refund period.

      And it tells me I need to get ahead of it and cancel the ones I’m planning to let expire rather than wait for a string of renewal reminders when I’m at the worst point in it. It’s weird. I spent years upset because I couldn’t afford domains for project ideas. Now I can afford so many that it almost got away from me when I needed to focus on one.

      Knowing it, I have the power to stop letting it run the show. I can find ways to cope and thrive if I know it’s going to pass

         I put off cancelling under the sunk cost mindset. I registered some of them for a couple years...

         So I had to reframe: I'm not throwing ~$40 away. I'm avoiding spending more when I'm at my most vulnerable.

         On that note...

         Getting a few more patrons would help me feel better about the wasted money. Boosts are appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/kyefox
