Subscriptions are totally out of hand

Not even streaming ones. I've had a Kindle Paperwhite since 2012. When I read a book with reading glasses I get a headache but with Kindle I can just increase the font size. A few months back Amazon discontinued support for older Kindles. You can keep your books but if you buy new ones you need a new Kindle to download the book. I'm trying really hard NOT to do it but we're probably getting a new one for Christmas to share between us. Just sheer greed the thing still works great and has plenty of memory on it.

I just bought Turbo Tax 2026 got a discount so I went ahead and bought it. To get Premier with both Fed and State you have to get Turbo Tax Advantage. The advantage seems to be they will bill you every year until the end of time if you don't cancel. I don't like the online version because I've had issues with it and I have friends who have had issues every year with it, seems to glitch out on updates and then require another update to fix it so I buy the desktop version and download it but now that one requires a subscription even though I've been a customer for ages.
