My landlord told me to get the 7-day CTA pass instead of the monthly, and my wallet is thankful

When I moved to Logan Square last fall, my landlord Sal said skip the $75 monthly pass and try the 7-day for $20 until I figured out my actual commute. Ngl I thought he was just being cheap, but after tracking it I only ride the L about 4 days a week, so the monthly was wasting close to $30 every month. Now I just load a 7-day whenever I know I have a busy week and walk the rest. Has anyone else done the math on this, or am I missing something with the Ventra fares?
