Budgeting tip: An easy way to slash your monthly charges
Your dollars don’t go as far these days. Sure, things are more expensive, but “buy now” buttons and shiny new services add up much faster than we’d like to believe. It’s no surprise that subscription-based business models are so popular.
Monthly fees for services like streaming TV give you unlimited access to more content than you could watch in one sitting, and it’s just a few bucks, right? Tap or click to see which streaming platforms are best.
That’s why it’s a good idea to decide what merits the monthly hit to your bank account. Here’s how to track your subscriptions and determine what’s worth keeping.

Subscriptions: Everything counts in (small) amounts
Today, most of us own less media than ever before. Forget building collections of albums and movies. Now, most people have extensive digital collections they access through monthly subscriptions.
Unlimited access to tons of content for a cheap monthly fee sounds excellent, but what happens if one platform isn’t enough for all your interests? You end up paying for multiple services, and those charges add up fast.
