Unsubscribe to all off them and sail the high seas
I should also add that I live in a third would country so all the streaming services are dirt cheap here.
I think YouTube premium is like $3 a month or something like that.
If I pay for YouTube premium, Netflix, disney, amazon prime, HBO max, spotify. I have to spend around 70 euros a month. (4k content or family pack)
For all that, we are $30-$40 a month.
My wife pays for most of them. I think I only pay the Disney and Spotify.
I just made a server, download 4k content on a pirate site. Spend around 5€ for my mullvad VPN. And we don't even need to go to the cinema anymore. Which is like 15€ per ticket at least. We do it sometimes for a date to get out of the house. But it just gets expensive very fast once you get candy and drinks.
cries in hard drive prices
I have an old PC with a gtx 1070 with 2tb ssd and 24 GB of hard drives, all bought before the AI price hikes of course. I am already at a net win.
