I found out the average person has over 100 unused subscriptions draining their bank account

I was digging through my monthly statements and stumbled on a Pew survey saying the average person throws away about $25 a month on subscriptions they forgot about. That really hit home when I counted 7 old streaming and app subscriptions I hadn't touched in 6 months. Has anyone else found some sneaky recurring charges after a deep clean?

Oh wow, my bank account just called to say it feels personally attacked right now. I had a gym membership that was charging me for like 14 months after I moved states - the real workout was trying to cancel it. At least I can pretend that $25 a month is my donation to the "forgotten subscription charity" or whatever.

Forgot to cancel my old Netflix account for like six months after I moved in with my girlfriend who already had it. The really annoying part is they kept emailing me like "we miss you, come back" while quietly taking my money.
