Episode Description

Whether you have streaming services with auto-renewal, or multiple small add-ons to programs, you could be paying a lot more than you realize.  Nick Wolny, Managing Editor with CNET, says Spring is a great time to review every subscription you have and get rid of ones you don't use very much or didn't realize the prices increased.

Nick also says it is so much easier to buy things.  It only takes a swipe of a phone or a tap of a credit card and it doesn't hurt as much as when you write a check or pay with cash.  Not paying close attention to all your swipes and taps can cost you a fortune in a very short time frame.
