I expected to see changes on the spending side, but that didn't happen. We're fairly frugal, so without large discretionary spending you kinda spend as you have to.

What did change, though, is how I view friction. I started embracing it.
While on the fiat standard, I was chasing convenience above all else. Even if it cost slightly more, I was able to convince myself it was worth the time savings.
As I started using bitcoin as money, I had to track more things manually.
It takes a bit of work, much less than I thought, but it still is friction.

Extending from that, I took on more friction when choosing where to spend. If there's a merchant accepting sats with good (enough) products, I'll put in the extra effort needed to spend there.

I guess, sometimes friction can be a good thing. It makes me pause and remember why I am not always choosing the route with the least resistance. It also makes me think how much friction would be too much. How much am I willing to compromise on quality, and a few other things I never thought about before.
