Find all those subscriptions you forgot about

ChatGPT

July 4th is all about independence, fireworks and maybe reinventing how many hot dogs a stomach can physically hold.

But financial freedom? Nothing says “I’m a prisoner of the bad side of capitalism” like paying for three streaming services just to rewatch The Office on a loop.

Here’s how to break free from the subscriptions you forgot about (but are still paying for).

Spoiler: You might save hundreds in under 15 minutes.

✂️ Cut ties the easy way

Here’s how to catch subscription suckers on your own:

On iPhone: Go to Settings > tap your name > Subscriptions. You’ll see every active Apple-billed subscription. Tap to cancel what you’re not using.
On Android: Open the Google Play Store > tap your profile pic > Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions. Cancel with a couple taps.
On Amazon: Head to Accounts & Lists > Memberships & Subscriptions. This shows every Subscribe & Save, channel, Kindle Unlimited and more.

💬 Try this AI trick: Upload your last bank or credit card statement (delete the private stuff), and let ChatGPT or your favorite AI bot sort through it like your own digital accountant.

Use the prompt: “List all the subscription charges in this statement. Mark which ones are essential and which I can probably cancel.”

🧾 Find the vampires

You can also use a free app with paid premium features like Rocket Money or OneMain Trim. These scan your bank and credit card accounts to uncover recurring charges hiding in plain sight. That $7.99 magazine app you downloaded during a dentist appointment in 2019? Busted.

PSA: You will need to link your bank accounts and credit card accounts with the app so it can do its job. Yea, that’s a lot of data you’re sharing right there.

What if your house became an Amazon warehouse? Listener Karen from California is stuck in this nightmare. Plus, AI superintelligence, Beyoncé’s secret music files stolen, and how a bad Yelp review could cost you thousands.

📧 Prime-time panic: Amazon just mass-emailed 220 million Prime users about a rise in account impersonation scams. Phishing, phone calls and fake Prime renewals are the flavor of the month.

$23.8 billion

That’s how much Americans are expected to drop during Amazon Prime Day this week. The sale runs four days, twice as long as last year, and Adobe says spending will jump 24%. It’s basically Black Friday in July, only with better delivery windows and fewer family arguments.
