If your subscription was only five dollars a month I would certainly sign up for it. But when it says $50 a month and I’m close to retirement I have to back off. I pay for several substacks at five dollars a month to support them. I will give you a one time donation though :-) I appreciate the work you do and the humor you inject

“If you can’t put time into the effort…”. What kind of time can be put into the effort if one doesn’t have money to give? Just looking for ideas.

How I wish I could do a monthly but retirement pay is limited. Hopefully I can help out several times a year. I can't begin to tell you what a difference your newsletter has done to brighten my days! You are one of those surprise gifts from God and I will continue to say a prayer for you and your family everyday as read.

Just made a $200.00 donation. I love your feed and read it daily as does my brother. However, the cost of a subscription is an amount I am unwilling to pay annually. I only have one service where I pay that amount or more and that is for a stock market investment service. Still, I feel I should contribute something for the time and effort you put in. Might I suggest some type of tiered account. As an old retail exec, it is always a trade off between lowering the cost versus the increased revenue. Happy Holidays, and thanks for everything you do.

I read this faithfully every day Anna’s have told all my friends about it! I would love to continue reading but $500 is steep! Woods you consider charging less?

Jeff - I am trying to make a one time donation from here in Ontario Canada , but the system does not seem to allow me to enter a Canadian postal code or a Canadian province.

Is there a solution

Merry Christmas to you and your family

I had intended to sign up for a 50/month contribution (an hour or two ago), but my receipt and online bank account say it is 500. I replied to the receipt email, but I'm concerned that my problem will not be noted via that route.

Does anyone know how to contact C & C at the clerical level so I can resolve this before it ages anymore? Thanks.

Jeff, I truly appreciate your work, your wit, and your wisdom, and I want to support the cause. But as a retired senior living on a fixed income with what is really more like 20% inflation staring me in the face, your $500 yearly subscription price tag is a bit too steep. Would you consider a senior deal, like my local BBQ joint, with a discounted rate for those of us in this situation? Thanks ever so much for what you are doing.

Any chance you could offer a discounted membership for seniors on a fixed income? $50/month is pretty steep.

WARNING: ON MAY 7 POST, the day after this post, JEFF SAYS:

“(PS — yesterday an unauthorized solicitation for donations went out on the C&C Substack. It wasn’t me. I generally don’t ask for help; that’s up to you guys. Now I have to do a security review. Anyway, FYI.)”

So I honestly don’t know if this post is legit or not?

Jeff, I love your column. However, I cannot afford $50 a month. Feeling frustrated not to be able to read your blog yesterday, March 12, because I do not have the budget for it. I'm a teacher!

Any chance you will consider cryptocurrency for donations? Can’t be too careful these days.

I am retired with limited income, since every little bit helps I did make a donation of $22.00 + .88 to cover processing fees. Thank you for all of your work.
