2. Streaming services

Nowadays, it is very popular to have subscriptions to various streaming services. And it is easy to understand why. After all, this is how people get access to their favorite shows. But if you feel like you can’t make ends meet at the end of the month, consider giving this a second thought.

Let’s say that you are subscribed to Spotify, HBO Max, and the ad-free version of Netflix. Doing some easy and quick math, we can notice that you probably spend around $400 per year on streaming services. $150 on HBO Max and $120 each for Spotify and Netflix.

In case you feel like you are spending too much on streaming services, we have a suggestion for you. Cancel all of your plans, and then after a few weeks, you can re-add only those that you really miss and feel like you are going to use the most.
