Anybody have auto-pay online subscriptions that you forget about over time?
I have a couple that I signed up for: A motivational site ($12.99/mo), a yoga site ($11.99), a permaculture site ($11), the NYT & WSJ and then I do monthly giving to a couple of sites (small amounts).
I'm dedicated to cleaning up my finances these days. I'm finding that owning two homes is not cheap. We had to make a couple of one-time purchases and I am determined to stabilize and stop the cash flow.
So I'm looking at these subscriptions and thinking of stopping some of them, because, as you can see, they do add up. I've already stopped the yoga site. But I really like the others! I would drop a newspaper subscription, but I feel its important to read both NYT/WSJ for SOME balance, so if I drop one, I'll drop both. But then I'm stuck getting all my news from TV CNN.
How should I decide? I'm sitting here spending way too much time trying to decide if I should stop my subscription to the great motivational site I'm on. It adds up to $156 a year.
Would you stop these subscriptions if you were trying to cut back? Or are they insignificant little "luxuries"?
