The Subscription Purge

It started with one of those “How to save $500/month” videos on YouTube. I was skeptical, but I figured I’d check my subscriptions just for fun. What I found blew my mind: I was spending over $200/month on stuff I barely used. Three music apps. Two streaming services I hadn’t opened in months. A monthly razor delivery I forgot I signed up for. And a meditation app I hadn’t meditated with since 2021. I was bleeding money without realizing it. So I sat down with a notepad and went scorched earth. I canceled everything I didn’t actively use. Then I set reminders to recheck every 3 months. The impact was immediate. Not just on my wallet, but on my brain. I felt lighter, more in control. It reminded me that “saving money” doesn’t always mean sacrifice—it can also mean clarity. Getting rid of noise. Now, when I sign up for anything, I ask myself: “Am I really going to use this? Would I pay for it if I had to use cash each month?” Most of the time, the answer is no. #Finance #MakeMoney #SubscriptionPurge
