Subscription Creep

The average person pays for 6-8 streaming services plus software, gym memberships, and productivity tools. Monthly total easily exceeds $300-500.

The Audit

Every January and July:
1. Export all recurring charges
2. List every subscription, cost, last used
3. Cancel anything unused in 30 days
4. Negotiate what you keep

Most people save $50-150/month.

Negotiating Bills

Internet: Call with a competitor offer. Works 80% of the time.
Insurance: Shop annually.
Software: Annual billing saves 16-20% vs monthly.
