Which Subscriptions Benefit Me?

Today I am going to share my analysis of my monthly subscriptions and share how I think about them.

I have lots of subscriptions. Some are helping me and some are just for fun. I am going to put them into categories and see which ones are which.

How many of them are actually teaching me things that make my life better? 

• Audible

• Blinkist

• Youtube Premium

• Calm

I love these subscriptions because I learn so much. I know that some people use Youtube for entertainment, and I sometimes do too, but mostly I get podcasts and watch educational content on YouTube. Being able to see it without ads is very valuable to me. I also pay for premium so that I can turn off the video and listen to the audio.

How many of them are providing only entertainment? 

• Netflix

• Amazon Prime Video

• Hulu

• Spotify

These are much more entertainment based subscriptions for me. I sometimes watch documentaries, but not as much as I should. There are some good podcasts on Spotify too.

How many are providing things that make my life worse?

Apple news! - need to cancel this

Cake of the month - just kidding. this isn’t a thing (as far as I know!)

I hope this post was interesting to you. If you have subscriptions that are really bringing huge benefit that I haven’t listed, I want to hear about it! Share them on Facebook and Linkedin!
