Not spending money on useless stuff if you do not want to, is ok. But if you want to, do not think that THIS is the reason why you are poor. The world changed way too much, the expenses quadrupled since our fathers time, to today, while the salary barely got to double, meaning we are spending twice as much for the same thing, while earning basically the same in logic. Don't get me started on school and housing prices, those are in a whole another level.

So believe me when I say this, it's really not a good period to be earning money. So if you really want a few subscriptions, then you are going to get that, and nothing will matter. It's just not that complicated and we can definitely end up with some small simpler solutions. It is not going to be saving you, just to save 50 bucks.
