Plot synopsis
gollark: Why are *those* your two options? What?
gollark: Anyway. Median American families are not actually you[citation needed]. You have different preferences and different requirements. Consider them.
gollark: Also, £103/year on reading? That's only something like 15 books.
gollark: Just determine some reasonable amount of things to get for yourself and donate/save excesses, I guess.
gollark: You should not let yourself be bound by the wrong and bad spending habits of the median family.
