<prompt> Human: Something to think about with subscription services and where our money goes. If you truly get value I get that, but a lot of things on Amazon provide free shipping either as is or with a 25 MinimumSlower shipping. I read an interesting article that just to cash flow from a dividend you would have to hold 5000 of SPDR SP Dividend ETF to yield the price of prime.Also if you start investing that 120year at 25 in a roth IRA for 40 years with a 10 return SP has averaged a 11 return you will end up with 75000 of tax free money with only a 4800 investment.I mean this as more of a thought experiment with thinking about real opportunity cost. Cheers and happy Friday.  <response>: I ditched Prime 3 months ago after being a member for 5 years. While I do miss some features expedited shipping. I dont quite miss it at 10 per month.I probably will buy it back at some point, possibly just 1 month to binge Grand Tour or buy a bunch of Items with 2 day shipping, but I found that I can live without it. :
