OK, I finished my taxes and am annoyed that I'm getting a refund (mostly to a change in state where I work). That said, I have a firm rule that 10% of any unexpected money goes to something non-essential. This keeps me from snapping and spending it all.
So, I love my Litter Robot 4, it's completely awesome. Do I splurge and get a reconditioned Feeder Robot? (I have three cats and OMG the Litter Robot has been life changing.)
OK, adhering to another rule, that being "If you ask about something, you know what you want, you just want someone else to agree" -
Ordered it. Will report back, but I expect it to be as incredibly convenient and rock solid as the auto-pooper. 💩
For the record, if I'd jumped in on time, I'd have offered the opinion to yes, do that.
Just so you know, that's all.
I'm ridiculously excited. When I got my current job, I told myself I could splurge on the Litter Robot and I really cannot describe how game changing it has been. The cats LOVE it. There is ZERO smell. I have no regrets.
I expect this to be the same. I have a "discount" autofeeder that is "ok" but occasionally leaves the beasts staring at me. No app, tho.
I cannot wait to have their happiness all in one app. 😻

Well shoot, if these things are that practical, have that much positive benefit, perhaps they shouldn't be considered part of your "non-essential" budget, but "essential-adjacent" items, so 50% value toward your 10% limit?
Spend the other 5% on something just for fun.
