Didn't see any mention of the Volvo Care thing, but leasing any car is typically a bad idea, Volvo is just packing more crap in for extra lazy people that like paying even more.

I don't see the death of a thousand cuts thing currently. No one needs a dozen subscriptions. Our household has 3: Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Spotify.

- Netflix is cheaper than buying 1 movie/month.

- Spotify is cheaper than buying 1 album/month.

- Amazon Prime is a net savings on shipping and trips to the store plus videos, books and music and whatever else in there...

Comes out to an overall savings from most people's spending habits before these things were around, especially if you cut cable. What else does a typical family need to subscribe to that is draining all of their money?
