I'm trying to make a list of things I am paying for and not using or barely using.
I canceled Netflix for now at least, so that is one less, but I still have: Hulu $13 a month (tried to cancel but they gave me a month free, I will probably cancel after that). DVR from comcast $30 a month (I have all of this season of arrow/flash/gothum etc on it...so I have not returned it, but I should and just watch them on hulu or something). Cell phone plan $30 a month (bought it since I was working, not working now and at home most of the time so no need). That is it...so not horrid. Was a bit more, but I cut out most of the stuff I wasn't using already. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm working on it. I canceled Netflix, and tried to cancel Hulu (so I'm not really wasting money on that anymore, I just have a free month).
The DVR is the big one, but I have all those shows saved to it, and it auto tapes things like Preacher etc, which I watch, so I really am kinda using it. I just don't think it's worth $30 a month. As far as my cell phone, I think I can cancel it now....believe I needed to keep it for 3 months as part of the initial deal, but even though I'm not using it now, if I start working again I probably will use it, so I have not decided if I am going to cancel it yet or not (I may teach next year, and then having it will be useful). Anyway, I just went through everything and it's not that bad really.....but I figured others might have more things then me. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

I feel like I'm wasting money on cable tv since it's mostly used for just background noise when I'm on the computer.

I'm still spending over $100 a month on comcast ($140 if you count the 40$ we pay as part of our home owners HOA fees).
That does include my internet though. $30 of that is the stupid DVR (you get a normal box for free, but not a second one, and you pay full price for the stupid DVR, so I'm paying $30 a month because I have the DVR). I may get rid of that soon, which will bring the total down to about $110. I can't avoid the $40 that is part of the HoA fees sadly, even if I got rid of everything else. The internet is 30$ + 10$ (speed increase) + 10$ (modem rental). If I got my own modem that would go down as well, but I'm too lazy. So with $50 for my internet, and $40 I can't get out of, I'm wasting about $50 right now on cable (not even sure how/why that is...I think most of it is taxes). I'm gonna go look atmy bill actually and see why it's so high. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Blah, yeah, I checked, nothing I can do really to cut back on the cost except get rid of the DVR which will drop it $30 a month. I'm gonna do that soon, it's just not needed since I can watch shows on demand anyway. Means watching comercials but big freaking deal.
I could pay for hulu and netflix for that $30 anyway (including no comercials on hulu), which I would probably use to watch most of them anyway. Still gonna be over $100 though sigh, but nothing I can do about it. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Canceled DISH, Simpsons marathons were awesome but nothing I cant live without, that and the 4-6 months out of the year where there's something on AMC
We have internet BUT bought our own modem to avoid the monthly rental fee Only thing I waste is data on my phone, have a 3gb plan and I dont come close to using half of that. Tried to dial it back to something lower, but the company said they dont offer those types of plans anymore --- Not changing my sig until Nintendo announces the Switch XL 1/12/2017 ...

The only semi-dead weight subscription I had was PS+, but I let it lapse in January. I got it back for a month for the recent mid-year sale (as the savings from this offset the cost and then some).

Yeah, I have paid insurance for almost 30 years and never used it, at least it's only like $40 a month now. Still blows.

I don't spend much on subscriptions, my problem is spending money eating out instead of eating at home or bringing lunch to work. I spent like $3000 in the last 5 months eating out. That's $150 a week eating out. I've started to bring lunches to work now.

Garbage service is probably the main one. Part of me wants to cancel it because I only really produce 2 plastic shopping bags full of garbage a week, and I could just dump those off at the supermarket when I go shopping.
Other then that, I could probably reduce my spending but not without some major changes in my life. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I haven't wasted any money in a while - my bills have me literally paycheck to paycheck with absolutely no room to even save. It's pretty awful right now. :/

Xbox Live at $10/month. Haven't used it in roughly two months. I feel like I should cancel at this point, but I know that as soon as I do, I'm going to want to play again.

Wow....just wow. I never thought about garbage service (I'm paying $40 dollars a month for mine!!).
I kinda vaguely thought after my wife passed away about reducing the size of the containers, but never bothered (I really should), but now that I think of it, by myself, I barely produce any garbage at all. I could actually just cancel it, not need to worry about remembering to take out my garbage (every other freaking week!!), and just throw it out when I go shopping etc. That could actually save me 40$ a month. I may just downgrade to the smallest size though (i'll check the cost), but thanks, this could save me some cash:) --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!!

I mostly waste money on eating out. I could do without it, but I just find it relaxing to eat out at least 4 times a week. I probably spend...about 400 USD monthly on this....
