Hello! 👋

First off, I’m trying out a new email service (buttondown) because Intuit is evil and I’ve been on Mailchimp for far too long… so apologies for any hiccups. Mainly I can’t figure out how to edit the preview text, but otherwise, the interface seems nice and simple.

Next, I’ve just released a new blog post titled Why we lowered our pricing near the height of inflation. In case you missed it, Lunch Money now offers pay-what-you-want annual plans starting at $40 (that’s 2019 prices!). If you enjoyed reading it, it would mean a lot to me if you shared it with folks in your network that you think would enjoy it as well!

Here are some high-level personal updates from me:

🏃‍♀️ My running journey continues with my next half-marathon slated for December in Seattle!

🏔 In June, I spent some time in Europe with the highlight being a week in the Dolomites. It’s a beautiful place for some R&R– I highly recommend Ortisei as a cute little town with lots of access to amazing hikes.

✈️ I’ll be spending about 2-3 weeks in Toronto in August. If you’re up for a (downtown) Toronto meetup, please fill out this form!

📽 I am far from being a movie-goer but I recently saw Inside Out 2 and I loved it. Highly recommend everyone to see it without watching any trailers or even looking at the movie poster. I laughed so hard and I found the storyline so clever even though it’s marketed as a children’s movie.

That’s it for me! I hope your summers are going well (or your winters if you’re in the southern hemisphere). Let me know how you’re doing or if you have anything interesting on your mind to share!

With gratitude,
Jen (lunchbag.ca)
