Subscriptions have become a monthly tax, a monthly cost to live our internet-heavy lives- the cost we pay for music or our TV content.
It wasn’t always like this, and many subscription services have made our lives a lot easier- but the ultimate truth is subscriptions are getting people to spend more, a lot more than they used to.
That number is growing fast. I’m actually below the average. The average American spends $300/mo on subscription services, up from $237 in 2018 it’s not slowing down.
In the US, more households have Amazon Prime subscriptions than those who go to decorate a Christmas tree, or go to church, or have pets.
Subscriptions are a money machine!
