With automatic electronic payment, I find it really easy to lose money through subscription leaks. Never really see the money, or the bill.

Your article pushed me to think seriously on these money-leaking factors. Actually, you are right we never consider paying little bit here and there on subscriptions but in totally it turn out in a big amount. I would stop my magazine subscription as i could get it all on internet only.

Thanks for sharing great tips on how anyone can stop many of the seemingly insignificant leaks that drain one’s money over time. It’s funny how much money you can really save when you start taking these “money leaks” seriously. You are right that one should focus on the big tickets as well as on the small ones.

Wow! I never realized how much it all costs after adding everything up! Mine was more than $100 that I could be saving.

As my favorite shows are available online (fox.com, cbs.com), I don’t see a reason to pay $50+/month for cable.

One thing that really helped me is placing all my recurring expenses (rent, electricity, cell phone, car, insurance…) on a piece of paper and understanding how much they cost me total. I’m sure that you will plug the leaks as soon as you do that.

A few added benefits to closely scrutinizing these types of things is that in the case of things that you need (i.e. insurance) then it is amazing how much you really can save if you consistently shop around every 6 months or so because of the way that people insurance needs change over time and also the rates themselves change amongst multiple companies. Also, in the case of things that you just want(i.e. cable TV) many times if you attempt to cancel/suspend your service then the customer service rep will try to incentive you to stay by sweetening the deal and giving you a lower price so that even if you decide to keep the service then either way you just saved yourself some money.

When one starts scrutinising the old credit card bill, and all the pesky rebill offers that just will not go away it rapidly becomes apparent that there are loads of little holes that can be plugged to stifle the outflow of little amounts of cash that add up to lots when you add them all up and look at their accumulated value over a one year period!

Buying new cars is also really silly, and remeber to shop around for insurance, as the policy conveniently that came with your new wheels is usually way overpriced. Get a decent insurance broker and be prepared for a huge shock!

I would like to add to your list utilizing free online offers; and I’m not talking about samples and coupons here, but cash. I’ve tried a few and this one is real good – $1000 cash. http://www.mediancs.com/rd_p?p=192462&t=9534&a=25081-scash&gift=25081 Amazing!

Small leaks will drain anyway, so it just makes sense to make your spending “air tight”.
