Money is tight, especially considering all you have to pay for.
You don’t get to opt out of rent, food and other bills, but you can save some money with a few clever tricks. Here are proven ways to lower your internet, streaming and cable bills.
There are, however, some things you don’t need to pay for anymore. Here are five I think you should say goodbye to in 2023.
1. Subscriptions you don’t use
I have a rule in my house: If we’re not currently watching a show on a streaming service, I cancel it. There’s no reason to pay for Netflix when you’re not using it.
App costs can add up, too. With their endless in-app purchases, games can run you a lot of money over time. Ditch them and go old school.
Board games are more popular than ever right now and for good reason. They allow you to connect with people you care about, and everyone has to put down their phones. Bonus: You only have to pay for these types of games once.
My new obsession is Cribbage. It takes a few rounds to wrap your head around the rules, but it gets easier as you go. All you need to play is a pack of cards and a cribbage board. I started with a super inexpensive version. Maybe I’ll upgrade someday if mine wears out.
Here’s my bargain version and a truly beautiful upgrade.

Life just got a little bit easier for people with hearing loss. Previously, you had to rely on a licensed physician to get hearing aids, which involved medical or audiological examinations. However, a new rule enables you to buy over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids as easily as a nasal spray or reading glasses.
