Money You Forgot About

Reclaiming $200/month is easier than you think.

Dear Beloved Reader,

Penelope was in the middle of replying to a client when a push notification popped up:
“You’ve just been charged £14.99 by kindlesque.”

She paused. That sounded… familiar. But she hadn’t used it in ages.

A quick scroll through her bank app uncovered five more: old writing memberships, a meditation app, a virtual summit pass on auto-renew.

Later that evening, she told her brother.

He raised an eyebrow: “You’re paying rent for things that aren’t even living in your life anymore.”

That hit hard.

So she took 30 minutes to download a subscription tracker.

Not only did she cancel the extras—she created a “Financial Cleanup Day” in her calendar once a quarter.
She made a checklist:

  • Review active subscriptions

  • Cancel anything unused

  • Renegotiate bills where possible

  • Move leftover cash to her Freedom Fund

It wasn’t sexy. But it was real progress.

🎯 This Is What Growth Looks Like

We’ve all heard “cancel unused subscriptions.” But here’s how to make that idea actually build freedom:

✅ Use apps like Rocket Money, Bobby, or your bank’s tracker to flag recurring charges
✅ Set a calendar reminder every 90 days: Financial Cleanup Day
✅ Cancel, negotiate, or downgrade anything not in use
✅ Move that reclaimed money to a high-yield savings account or money-making asset (like a tiny digital product or newsletter ad budget)

You’re not just “saving money”—you’re redirecting it to things that grow.

📊 The Proof:

A C&R Research study found that 74% of people underestimate how much they spend on subscriptions.

They thought it was $86/month.
It was $219/month.

That’s nearly $2,640 a year. Most of it on services they forgot they even had.

Unique Perspective:

We talk about scaling, funnels, and high-ticket offers—meanwhile $49 tools are quietly bleeding our profit.
Freedom starts with plugging the holes, not building another boat.
