“In January we realized HOW MUCH we were spending on subscriptions and cut it all almost. I just have my storage ICloud subscription now. It can all add up, Spotify, YouTube, CapCut etc and it was coming up to 1000 dollars a year! Imagine if we had saved that amount in the last couple of years and put that in investments? That convinced me in letting go of the convenience of subscriptions”
Good for you for taking a step back and doing what felt right for your family, it always feels good to be more intentional with where that money is going. -Danielle 😊
