How to Track Subscriptions and Recurring Charges With FIN
Dec 21, 2024
The Hidden Cost of Subscriptions
In the age of digital convenience, subscriptions are everywhere—streaming services, meal kits, fitness apps, cloud storage, and more. While these small charges might seem insignificant, they can quietly drain your finances if left unchecked. Have you ever wondered how much you’re actually spending on recurring charges each month? The total might surprise you.
Why Subscription Tracking Matters
Subscriptions often follow a "set it and forget it" model, which makes them easy to lose track of. Without regular monitoring, you could be:
Paying for services you rarely use (or forgot about entirely).
Subscribed to multiple overlapping platforms.
Losing money to price increases you weren’t aware of.
