Shoutout to my sister for calling me out on my subscription mess

She asked why I was paying $15 a month for a cloud storage service I hadn't opened in 6 months. Cancelled it on the spot, that's $90 a year I was just burning. Anyone else had a family member point out a waste you were blind to?

$90 a year for a cloud you never opened, that's rough but I love it. My brother caught me paying for a gym membership I hadn't used since 2019, I told him I was "supporting local business" and he just stared at me until I cancelled it. Best part is I signed up for it because I thought the free trial was a month when it was actually a week, so I paid for 3 years of guilt and zero crunches. Your sister probably saved you from a future of paying for a digital attic full of old photos you'll never look at anyway.

Set a calendar reminder for every 3 months called "subscription check in" and just go down the list of what's pulling from your account. I do it with my daughter every quarter and we always find at least one thing that's been sitting there for months unused. The cloud storage one got me too actually... I was paying for extra iCloud space for two years after I switched to Google Photos without thinking to cancel it.
