    Protip for apps/services that require monthly payments: pay and immediately cancel. You’ve already payed for a month, so the service will keep working until the next billing day, but it won’t renew because you’ve already canceled.

      You wish. I have had one too many services that cancel immediately upon request, even if you paid for the month 3 days ago.

        Maybe it differs per country or state. I’ve done it dozens of times, never failed me.

        I live in the Netherlands, maybe theres a law that mandates it, but I’m not 100% sure.

      The feeling if a greedy stranger came up to you and snatched your Starbucks Cake Pop right out of your fingers before you could enjoy it but actually you forgot you were just holding it for your wife. You would rather be home but “brunch with the girls” every month was YOUR idea! It’s all your fault but you’re still salty they stole that delicious moment of sugary bliss from you without any warning and now you have to go home, cake-pop-less and cry your broke ass to sleep.

    I have 0 things on autopay. I pay my insurance each month myself. I’m the only one who should be able to take money out of my account
