Review Your Subscriptions Every Month
By the Maurvia team · October 14, 2026 · 1 min read · Finances
Video and music platforms, applications, cloud storage, the gym, some free trial that turned into a paid service... Small, automatic charges are convenient, but also very easy to forget.
Choose a Fixed Day
Mark a day on your calendar each month to review your subscriptions. For example, the first Sunday of every month. Ten minutes is usually enough.
How to Do the Review
- Go over your bank or card statement from the last month.
- Make a list with each service, its amount, and its renewal date.
- Ask yourself for each one: Have I used it lately? Will I use it this month?
- Look for duplicate services (two similar platforms, two cloud storage accounts).
If You Decide to Cancel
- Review the cancellation or pause conditions for each service before the next renewal.
- Some allow you to pause the subscription for a few months instead of canceling it.
- Save the cancellation confirmation.
It's Not About Getting Rid of Everything
Many subscriptions are worth it. The review helps ensure that each one is a conscious decision and not a charge that goes unnoticed.
