Summing up the year and a golden vision for the next

2023 was a year of unrestrained excess of spending, December was no different. 2024 however will see a controlling of such spending.

Each month there is around $600 left over from necessities

Out of that 600 no more than half can be spent on books

Unless i go without for x amount of months and add up them for larger orders

THIS month's purchases which amounted to around 320: (meaning just the orders on December 1st)

1. The last 3 ESV Expository Commentary volumes covering Romans to Revelation
2. The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind - Mark A. Noll
3. The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism - D.A. Carson
4. Psalms, Volume 2 (The NIV Application Commentary) -- W. Dennis Tucker & Jamie A. Grant
5. Renewal Theology: Systematic Theology from a Charismatic Perspective -- J. Rodman Williams

I save money on books by loaning from my library frequently..I often have to renew each book twice lol.

@Coralmist The French culture here is much more direct in being expressive. English Canada much more passive.... hard to explain in short words, but I remember being in NYC seeing a minor accident happen and watching with utter amusement how they were at arms together, and then within seconds laughing together saying, this is what insurance is for.... Reminded me of a scene I may see in Montreal.

We're all loving, caring and compassionate but English Canada is much more passive.

@SW-User interesting. Come to Boston and you will definitely see more *expressive* 🫨😄

@Coralmist I've heard this about Bostonians, too..... And that accent, that accent..... It's born to be expressive. 😉🙃
