Subscriptions, streaming services, and recurring payments can sneak up on you if not monitored carefully. Every January, we do a deep dive into our budget and audit monthly subscriptions to ensure we’re using them enough to justify the cost. Create a note in your phone to keep track of them. Check that family members are not unknowingly paying for a subscription that could be shared. Consider experimenting for a few months without certain streaming services to see if you miss them. We add and subtract services throughout the year to save money and be more intentional with the time we spend watching television. Fewer streaming options encourages other activities and creates immediate monthly savings you can realize the entire year.
