I did a search though and found a some results with a slightly different spelling within my price range. The 413th hit for Kinky Jew was finally a female but she wasn’t willing to take an Amazon gift card. ---

Whenever I received a windfall, I saved 50% and spent the rest. Now I’m 65 and comfortably retired. I own my house and have ample savings (e.g. enough to take a foreign holiday annually) on top of my pensions. Good luck! ---

Buy lots of food on Amazon. You have to eat, and might as well use this to defray your grocery expenses. Other than that I have no ideas. ---
