Found $60 a month I was leaking on subscriptions

I finally went through my bank statements from the last 6 months and found 3 subscriptions I forgot about. One was a cloud storage service I used once for a school project back in 2022. Another was a magazine app I downloaded for a free trial and never canceled. That adds up to $60 a month gone, which is like $720 a year. Anyone else find old subscriptions eating their budget?

Found an old gym membership I hadn't used since 2019 last week.

Honestly I did the exact same thing a few months ago and found a random Dropbox subscription I had for a photography class back in 2021. $9.99 a month for like 2 years before I noticed it. Then I found a music streaming family plan I was paying for even though everyone in my family stopped using it. I was throwing away close to $50 a month on stuff I literally never touched. It's crazy how easy it is to just forget about these auto payments until you actually sit down and look.

And then you start looking closer and realize half these subscriptions were for trials you forgot to cancel... I swear companies bank on that, just hoping you'll forget. It's like a hidden tax nobody talks about.
