Update 3
I was considering daily updates, but it doesn't make sense since not much is happening. Perhaps I'll switch to every 2-3 days, depending on events.
On the second day, I got another Rewe gift card that I can use for a while. Usually, I get a flat white at a nearby coffee shop. I inquired about paying with bitcoin, but the suggestion to use sea shells left me leaving without coffee. Seems I'm not good at orange-pilling.
Talked to my wife about using her as a p2p exchange for some cash I need for the barber tomorrow. Thought it would be a good chance for her to stack some sats and learn about bitcoin through the educational content in the Blink wallet. She wasn't very enthusiastic.
Heading to Dubai next week for a business trip, and although all expenses are covered, I'm excited to explore some bitcoin-friendly places as I've heard adoption there is much better.
personally im not an orange piller, I know its a hard sell and im no salesman. my so is also difficult to convince and if I cant convince someone who shares most of my values its a dead end… she has a small amount but regular stacking is not for her. this is where I think a credit card, or lending can be usefull, you can lock the required sats at a dollar value in certain wallets or at lnmarkets to mitigate volatility until you need them to exchange on robosats something to concider is keeping a KYC exchange handy might be a good idea just to ensure the ability to sell quickly should it be needed if p2p does not work within the required timeframe. Not something I do personally but I can see that someone might have this need.

Although many people oppose it, I like an idea of a lightning debit card that you can instantly top up from your lightning wallet when you need to spend fiat. I'll definitely try this when it is available.

I found this, might be interesting; https://trocador.app/en/prepaidcards/ Im gonna try when it makes economical sense for me. they have a TOR and I2P site to increase anonymity which is what I would use when I try it
