(In my case, my early childhood was pretty much Spoiled Rich Money Is No Object -- and then my teen years had my emotionally abusive sire insisting that The IRS Will Take Everything and us getting our groceries on my grandad's dime... So I have some really screwed up binge/miser impulses. *headdesk* (I am also sending you yay-thoughts and hoping that your workarounds are working out for you! Money-relationship crap is hard.))

Hmmmmm. I don't suppose "$1-$5 every time a News Post drops" would count as "services" for your accounting? Like the webcomics Patreons where the patrons get billed when the webcomic updates? (Usually with a maximum of Up To $X Per Month limit.) *hopeful look*

Anyway, good luck figuring out a Payment Processing trick! Didn't know the accounting for Free "You Rock!" Money would screw things up. O:(
