This makes SO much sense! Especially this past year, we've needed a lift of spirits. I bought myself a beautiful new iPad cover for $20 from Amazon. Reviving old interests that have been dormant for years can bring a boost too. This month I started playing chess again. I came across Dr. Wolf's chess app and subscribed for the first month which cost about $6 instead of getting the annual subscription for $50. This way I can afford a free month of some other chess resource or a new e-book.

Even re-reading a book that I've not read in years gives a lift without even spending money. What's even MORE scarce than money is uninterrupted time alone.
