Going to the gym is worth more than the money you pay—but only if you actually go. If you don’t, depending on the payment option you’ve chosen, month after month money is drawn from your account automatically as payment for your membership.
If you’re not getting the most out of your gym membership—or any other membership, or subscription that auto-renews—this week may be the right week to cancel your membership and keep that money in your pocket every month.
Its a good idea to check your bills to see what type of services you have that auto renew and double check to make sure that you are still getting the benefit of the services, and to save money by removing some that you no longer use. A quick check can reveal exactly what you want to cancel and what you want to keep.
Your annual $80 membership at Amazon.com where you can buy and get free shipping? A good deal if you are buying a lot of books, but it’s not needed if you don’t, so maybe its time to re-evaluate.
Your magazine subscription? Seemed like a good idea at the time, but do you need to renew it?
Remember, when it comes to bills that auto-renew themselves, be sure to ask yourself: are you still interested? Are you still paying it? Are you still getting value from it?
