I keep a little note file so I can keep it from getting out of control.

A small suggestion, only because using monthly prices sometimes makes things seem even cheaper than they are. Change it from $Monthly Cost to $Monthly Cost ($Annual Cost). For example instead of $11/mo for Apple Music it would be $11 ($132) and instead of $33 it would be $33 ($396).

Doing this caused me to re-evaluate a number of monthly subscriptions I had, find cheaper (sometimes even free/"good enough") alternatives. Other times it would make me realize I should update annual charges if it was available if it was something I planned to keep around anyway and the annual price was a good enough deal. It also causes you to re-evaluate which price tier you pay for. Like for Nitro - do you really need the extra perks for $84/yr or do you only actually care about emotes and slightly larger file uploads and the $3/mo Basic package would be good enough? Often times people go "Oh it's only $7/mo difference anyway" and get the better package but don't actually use the extra features they're paying for.

I need nitro because my mom and I play the activities every weekend (we live far apart).

For real? That seems crazy to me, the only monthly charges I have are my phone bill and my gym membership. I've been tempted to get some services, like Hulu when I heard they got Community and that one Youtuber-shilled one that (if you used an oft-promoted coupon code) you get a full years subscription to their two streaming services which said Youtubers contributed exclusive videos/whole series there, but ultimately I never thought it was worth it and if I ever actually wanted to watch something I would search it on one of those pirate streaming sites or just torrent it.

What kind of services do you end up spending for? Video streaming, Spotify, or utility stuff like dropbox?

do note that most of community is now available for the free on youtube and has been available for free on piracy websites for a looong time
