Yep. It makes sense in his context.

Personally, I really hate all the tracking. But I also really need to advance some aspects of my life because time grows short and I ended up raising my granddaughter.

(She will either kill me off, or I get a lot stronger! Lol)

So, I pay. But will also contribute time and money to good causes. Not happy about all that, but I need what I need too, so does the fam.

Tons of people struggle like this. It has to be important to have the conversations sans the judgement.
