I went to install a plug-in for this blog’s WordPress and I found out I need to upgrade to a business subscription. This made me pause and think of all the other subscriptions that are each taking a tiny bite out me every month.
I recently subscribed to the AI tool Cursor so I could keep working on projects. That’s $20/month.
There is, of course, the streaming services I use.
Disney+ that’s $19.99/mo.
HBO Max runs me $16.99/mo.
Peacock for pretty much just The Office is $16.99/mo.
I pay $2.99/mo for expanded iCloud+ storage.
The list goes on and on. Food services, sports packages, software, business tools…it’s a rent-to-never-own world.
It’s important to spring clean your subscriptions from time to time. Make sure you take ten minutes at some point today and review all your subscriptions. I bet you’ve got a few you can cut loose and save yourself a couple of bucks.
