someone tell me if this is normal or if I have a problem

just now coming to terms with how insane I am when it comes to saving money. Like the frugal mindset is just different. Because I want to join this gym and it's a $145 a month. And I was like, no way in hack am I paying $145 a month? So I found out there are a part of this thing called Active and Fit and you just sign up it's a premium per month. It's like $77. So I'd be saving like 70 bucks a month, right? But I don't qualify. So I'm like, oh that really sucks. Let me just find out how I can qualify. I can qualify by signing up for APR for $15 a year. That's literally nothing. I'm going to do that. And on top of that, I found out that I only need to sign up for APR for one year and then I could just get rid of it because active and fit will always remain active as long as I had the membership at like the time that I signed up. And so like I would be saving $70 a month just by doing this, but like that's not normal. Why did I spend so much time doing that?
