Youve been cutting down on eating out.
Youve become a regular in your Buy Nothing group.
Your local Target practically wants to file a missing persons report since youve avoided going in.
And yet, you haveless money in your accountthan you anticipated.
A number of invisible expenses could be bleeding you dry.
Once youre aware of them, it’s possible for you to nip them in the bud.
Youre paying for it.
Those recurring fees add up, even when youre not watching.
Cutting ties with services you dont use anymore can be a great way to save money.
Probably not a lot.
Even a $10 monthly fee adds up to $120 a year.
A $25 fee?
Not an insignificant chunk of change.
Review your statements to see if any autopay charges have gone up.
That could mean negotiating your bills, shopping around for cheaper services, or even cutting out nonessential expenses.
Being aware of these increases helps you balance your spending and savings.
Unused Memberships
You signed up for that gym membership with the best of intentions.
But as the months ticked on, you never quite made it there.
Or perhaps you discovered you prefer walking in the great outdoors instead.
Whatever the reason, its time to cut the cord.
Of course, its not just the gym membership draining your account.
If youve changed careers, you should also leave any professional memberships related to your old industry behind.
Free Trials That Turned Into Memberships
Remember when you signed up for that free trial for a streaming service?
Or a meal box subscription?
Unfortunately, you dont but their billing department sure does.
Theyve been pulling money out of your account every month.
Better yet, think twice before signing up for another free trial in the first place.
