I've been where you are. I've felt the frustration of trying to cancel a gym membership, the shock of discovering a subscription I thought I'd canceled years ago, and the anger at companies that make it nearly impossible to stop paying them.
But I've also felt the incredible freedom that comes from taking back control. The satisfaction of seeing that money in your account instead of theirs. The confidence that comes from knowing exactly where every dollar goes.
That's what I want for you.
So grab a pen, pull up your bank statement, and let's get started. Your future self—and your bank account—will thank you.
