Dont spend money on anything that strictly necessary... You would be amazed how much you can save

I found $170 CAD in monthly subscriptions to cut, I didn't realize it had gotten that bad until I sat down and went over it. Amazed is a good word for it.

Probably could find another $70 monthly if I started cutting some things I prefer to use but have alternatives for (like cutting QoBuz because I have YT Music, PlexAmp).

But yes, inflation has taken a bite and I've started to cut back on unnecessary things.
