S1 E8: Subscriptions: too easy to ignore

In this episode of the Money Healing Club podcast, hosted by financial therapist Rachel Duncan, listeners delve into the practicalities of managing and canceling subscriptions. Rachel answers a Club member question about organizing and letting go of unwanted subscriptions, providing three key methods: using an app like Rocket Money, an analog approach with spreadsheets and credit card statement reviews, and the 'nuclear option' of reporting a credit card as lost or stolen.

 

Rachel invites you to join the upcoming 'Get Your Money Organized' challenge starting on January 13th for more hands-on support.
