Updated for November! Game Pass has gotten me a couple of attempts at Slay the Spire and maybe 10 hours worth of The Outer Worlds so far. Hoping to finish OW before cancelling in mid-January, so that alone will make the $1 well worth it.

So, for 2019 I spent $711, after you count the money I made back from selling games and the like. Honestly, not bad. My estimate was that I spend about $1000/year on gaming, which seems to be pretty accurate (if you count just pure spending). This being the first year I tracked my purchases, I actually did try to slim down my purchases where I could. Hard to say if next year will be above or below this amount. I don't think I'll be buying the next gen consoles, but there will be a lot of full price games I'll be interested in. We'll see!

January Total = $119
February Total = $3 (credit -$152)
March Total = $61
April Total = $27
May Total = -$59
June Total = $428
July total = $102
August total = $0
September total = $17
October total = $2
November total = -$1
December total = $0

2019 total = $711
