I used to laugh at people doing the whole cash envelope thing. Figured it was just a gimmick for folks who couldn't track their spending. Then last month at the Piedmont market I had $40 in my pocket and these heirloom tomatoes were $8 a pint. Normally I'd grab three pints without thinking. Instead I picked one and a loaf of bread and walked away. That extra minute of counting bills made the price feel real. Now I get why you do it.

Ha, I used to be the guy defending our old newsletter format because "it looked professional," but honestly, this post made me see how much we were just protecting our own comfort over actual communication. Once I saw a plain text version crush our old one, I was all in on ditching the fluff.

Switched to old Simpsons episodes after a true crime marathon and passed out mid-laugh.
