And $10 Is too much for a book, when libraries are free, lol!
They are not. yearly fees are about one book though. But getting abook from another library normally costs money, and they very certainly don't have the english edition here in Germany.
And of course, there is the warm feeling of a library in your home...
As far as luxuries goes, books are certainly one of the cheapest and most positive hobbies there are ;)
"Financieelonafhankelijk"
LOL
I like that as a German, I can get the meaning of practically every dutch word if I just repeat it often enough, even with such mammoth words. Took me 4 times for this ^^
Interesting, German has no bang word, we put it in two. Finanzielle Unabhängigkeit.
