    Gym Membership, Jeans, Beer and Meal (Inexpensive) moved to actual provider prices and serving or cover calculations; Meal (Mid-range, 2 people) now counts both diners. Internet & Mobile, Transportation, Dining Out, Leisure Activities, Health Insurance and Visa & Legal Fees now use stated quantities and official or provider inputs. Housing, Utilities, Groceries, Coliving Space and Scooter Rental lost unsupported profiles or prices instead of retaining false evidence (reactivefitness.it, ponenteristorante.it, adriabus.eu).
