The Slow and Steady Drain

Read the article. No notes. Ironically coming from a subscription-only site (but the above link is free).

The average consumer spends $273 per month on subscriptions.

I try to stay on top of these little parasites. A few tricks

  • “Snooze” subscription confirmation emails to right before renewa
    • The reminder forces me to reconsider right before renewal.
    • If I decide to keep it, I snooze the confirmation another month, then rinse and repeat.
  • Use Amazon or AppleTV purchase histories
    • Check your purchase history once a month to see what’s active and clear out the services you’re not using.

Remeber: recurring expenses are the drip-drip-drip poison that kills any financial plan.
