I had to check pricing after reading your comment. $375/year! That sounds crazy.

Does a dollar a day sound more affordable? Just read the news over a cup of home-brewed coffee instead of getting a take-out, and you should easily break even. :)

If I'm going out to get my avocado toast anyway, it only makes sense to get the coffee with it since I'm right there. Maybe they should let me round up my change to get the day's FT news with my coffee at Starbucks instead.

Not an entirely bad idea.

They regularly have some deals going around. ft.com/weekendpodcast would also show you some deals. I pay around $80 a quarter. Like OP, worth every penny and it’s much more than just a financial newspaper.

I get WSJ through work and NYT/WaPo are all super cheap. I’ve just never found the quality of FT. So I decided to pay for it. Another publication I recommend is The Economist.

yeah it sure is not a lot.. we waste that without thinking usually

For me, no it doesn't.

New York Times is around $200. The Economist is something north of $100. So the FT is on the high side but hardly out of the ballpark.

Bloomberg is even more at $415, and that's just the baby bloomberg! I pay for it and think it's worth it too.

That's cheap compared to the Bloomberg terminal. High quality news is not free (news is not necessarily the same as journalism).
