I obviously understand the principal of being frugal for the sake of being frugal regardless of how much money you have, but the average HackerNews frequent user has to have an income between $100k-$500k/yr or a net worth of $500k-$2.5m, right?

At that level, does $50/mo vs $150/mo in paid subscriptions register as a blip on the radar?

I say that as somebody who has Hulu, YouTube Premium, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Spotify, Netflix, Peacock, SiriusXM, HBO max, Roku CBS, ESPN+, Roku Discovery (and that's just what I could find jotted down from a statement)

I just don't comprehend the idea of "tweaking" something that's $100/yr. Obviously less fortunate people need to. But then how many of them tweak their $100/yr subscriptions and immediately go to Starbucks for a $7 drink right after?

If you can save $100/yr then why not but I agree all these penny pinching efforts are usually nothing but noise.

All those gains will easily be lost if you book your plane tickets two days late and have to pay $200 more.
