87: Subscription Overload

Americans spend $219 per month on subscription services on average. What’s worse – people guess that number is closer to $86 when asked. We used to only have subs for things like newspapers, magazines, gyms, and cable. Now we have streaming services, software, online courses, sports tv, vitamins, razors and more, all of which can erode your budget! 

Today, Kiersten and Julien Saunders (@richandregular) are providing tips for auditing and managing subscriptions, lowering and negotiating costs, and simplifying it all. “I dare you to cancel something today,” says Kiersten. “Watch how good it feels – I promise you there’s nothing better than knowing that next month they ain’t getting your $4.”
