We hate subscription services!
There, we said it. It always bothered us, even as teenagers. It is great for a company to get $20, $50, or $79 from your bank account or credit card monthly—they can make payroll and count on revenue stream. That revenue stream is a guaranteed expense stream!
Here are some you may have forgotten:
Netflix
Spotify
Yard service
Yard fertilizer service
Massage
Dog Grooming
Car Washes
Taco Bell
Coffee clubs
Web hosting service
Amazon Prime
Gym membership
Personal Training
Theme park admissions
Parking costs
Pool Service
Internet service
Cell phone service
Apple/Google backup services
DoorDash
Uber+
Not to mention:
Property taxes, mortgage, rent, trash service, etc.—these are probably not things you want to cancel!
This is exhausting! Did you need all these when you were a scrappy college student?
Most of these are fine—if you are using them! The company’s goal is for you to get signed up and stop using them. As we approach the new year, it’s time to reconsider if these monthly drags on the budget can stay!
Take a new year’s resolution (or better yet, do it today) to review every subscription and see if you want to cancel it in 2023.
