Don't let costly subscriptions get the best of you. Here's how:
From Netflix NFLX, -0.65% , Spotify SPOT, +0.61% and Amazon Prime AMZN, +1.01% to Blue Apron APRN, +5.88% , Birchbox and beer of the month, your debit or credit card statements are likely littered with subscriptions that are costing you dearly.You might be happy to pay a monthly fee to work out at the gym or type in Microsoft MSFT, +0.44% Office 365. But maybe the benefits of subscribing to credit monitoring or razors by mail were, uh, more fleeting.
“On the surface, subscription costs might seem minimal, but when you add them up it can really pinch your monthly budget,” says Paul Golden, spokesman for the National Endowment for Financial Education. “If you’re putting subscriptions on your credit card, is that hindering your ability to pay off your balance each month? If so, this is a red flag.”
“It’s a good idea to do a subscription evaluation on a regular basis — perhaps a couple of times a year,” Golden says. Don’t forget about freebies at your local public library, which can substitute for subscriptions: digital access to books, audiobooks, movies, music and magazines.
