I bought a $5 notebook to track coffee shop trips and the total shocked me.

After logging every latte for a month, I saw I'd spent $127, which made me switch to making my own and saving that cash instead, so what's a small spending habit you tracked that surprised you?

Eight different streaming services" is actually insane, I'd forget what was on half of them.

Read a story about someone tracking their app subscriptions, just the little $3 and $5 ones. They added it up and it was over $60 a month, which is crazy for stuff they barely used. Makes you realize how those tiny charges just slip by.

Yeah that's so real. Saw a tweet where someone went through their bank statement and found like eight different streaming services, plus some random fitness app and a meditation thing. They were paying for stuff they forgot they even signed up for.
