I’ll spend money on good Ultra boxes, for me it’s not worth spending money on a new shirt ---

It depends how much money u have coming in with it, if I do all 10 tomorrow that LL be 500 and that’s with the only 2 I can see from the train, burley and addingham are elderly areas too but they are old farming villages, so have few points of interest where the pokestop LL be placed. So 500 daily is 3500 a week eventually will have a full backpack and will need to spend money on other things too ---

Not anymore though. My area used to be good for coins because the gyms could stay for weeks. With no other team players to take them down, we all got lots of coins. The new gym system means I struggle to get gyms taken down. I have noticed gyms being taken down slightly more often than before but still not much. For the celebi quest, I expect to be stuck on stage one for a while. Beating a raid and taking down gyms are both really rare things to happen. At least there’s no “beat a legendary raid”. I’d have to wait until I was on holiday next to get a celebi and that might not be until next year. Either way, old coin system good, new coin system bad.
