I spend about $200 a month of subscription services, but they are software services. They make me money well above what they cost.

We are way below it, however, we have so many subscriptions through Verizon which we get great rates.

Netflix 17.99
Prime 14.99
Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundle 16.99
YoutubeTV 82.99
Apple Music 10.99

~$144/month

My Wife also has a kindle book sub. Not sure what it is, but it's pretty cheap. Internet and phone bills are comped by my wife's WFH employer.

Under. We cancelled a ton of subscriptions a couple years ago that were unnecessary and barely used.

I also don't see prime actually being a cost. With shipping being free, it's cost savings IMO. Many of the items we buy you can't just go get at a brick and mortar locally, so it's not like the costs could be avoided. I've honestly had prime since grad school. Using prime made text books cost a fraction of what they would have cost at the school bookstore.

Nope,I felt tremendous, but I'm guessing you felt like the same half moral nanny/ half virtue signaling hall monitor of a puffed-up little fart yesterday, that you were the day before.


But I do sincerely appreciate you checking in on me.

Really? It’s not that difficult.

I think I can drop Paramount now that Landman is over, but 1923 Season 2 is coming. Tulsa King, was the other show we watched here.

MAX has Bookie, The Pitt, Righteous Gemstones

Peacock may be droppable, too, but I do like watching The Dan Patrick show in the morning

Hulu for everyday TV. I might experiment with dropping to On Demand only and see how much we actually miss it. That would be huge savings.

AppleTV+ has many many many great shows. Right now is Severance, but I’m kind of starting to get confused about that show.

I know we could cancel and binge when the season is over for 1 month cost, but I like the weekly releases. It didn’t bother me much until Hulu and Netflix went up for the 2nd time in a year.

ETA: I’m too cheap for this, but I would bet there’s a significant portion of the population that has all of these subscriptions if not more that also pay extra for Commercial Free. In my experience, that doubles every subscription.

So all of my family's subs divided by 4 or 5 (one kid in the Navy)? I am well below $200 per person.

Honest question, how do you share a YouTube tv sub? Don’t they restrict by location?


You start a google family group and add other google accounts of family members. It is location restricted to an extent. But I’ve used a shared account hundreds of miles away from the parent user, but in the same state, and it worked.

$4/month for the paper.

I consider phone and internet to be utilities used to deliver content, not subscription services that provide content.
