4. Cancel Subscriptions You No Longer Use
Almost everyone has a monthly subscription that they put on a credit card and completely forget about. It could be a video streaming service like Netflix or Hulu. Maybe it’s your gym membership, or a fee to join an online course. Even if it is only $10 a month, that adds up to $120 per year. Considering that you may have multiple subscriptions, this could be several hundred dollars you are wasting.

Instead of thinking in terms that maybe some day you’ll use it, cancel, and wait until you are actually ready to start again. For example, maybe there is a blizzard that is forcing you to stay home from work for a few days, and you would love to get that Netflix subscription back. Get it back for one month, and then cancel it.
