“adding APPS you don’t have time to understand” — HIGHLY stressful. You cannot go into a store these days without them nearly DEMANDING you use their app. I cannot get into my gym without an app. Safeway has so many types of discount programs it makes my head spin and I am never sure I’m getting the best price. You have the regular price, the sale price for regular folks, the “member” price (where you used to just enter a phone number on the POS terminal), the “Just 4 U” price on the app, the weekly advert flier (available in the app), “Extras” in the app which is just like another printed advert flier. It is MASSIVELY confusing and very stressful.

Before I retired, I didn’t worry too much about any of that crap except entering my “member number” to get special deals at the gas station. In retirement and high inflation, I’m paying strict attention to spending. What used to be very simple was supposed to get simpler yet has become very complicated with “apps.” Grrrrr.
