Hello and welcome to our channel, Top

10s You Should Know. Let me ask you
0:05
something. Have you ever looked at your
0:07
bank statement and thought, "Where on
0:09
earth is all my money going?" You're not
0:11
splurging on designer clothes or booking
0:13
luxury vacations every weekend, yet
0:15
somehow your account feels drained. So,
0:18
today we're diving into the top 10
0:20
expenses you can eliminate without
0:22
changing your lifestyle. Pay close
0:25
attention because even eliminating just
0:28
one of these could free up more money
0:29
than you think. One, unused
0:32
subscriptions. How many of us signed up
0:34
for a streaming service just to watch
0:36
one show and then completely forgot
0:38
about it? Or maybe you tried a fitness
0:41
app, a meditation platform, or a free
0:43
trial that quietly turned into a monthly
0:45
bill. Subscriptions are the modern money
0:48
trap. They feel small, $5 here, $12
0:52
there. But when stacked together, they
0:54
can drain hundreds per year. The sneaky
0:57
part is that they autorenew. So even if
0:59
you don't use them, they're silently
1:01
taking money from your account. The
1:03
solution isn't to cancel everything.
1:05
It's to audit what you actually use.
1:08
Keep the services that genuinely add
1:10
value to your life and cancel the ones
1:12
gathering dust. Two, extended
1:15
warranties. Here's the truth. Retailers
1:18
make a fortune selling extended
1:20
warranties because most people never use
1:21
them. Electronics, appliances, even
1:24
furniture stores push them aggressively.
1:28
But ask yourself, do you really need to
1:30
pay extra for coverage on something that
1:31
already comes with a manufacturer's
1:33
warranty? In most cases, these
1:36
warranties expire before the product
1:38
ever breaks or the cost of repair is
1:40
almost the same as replacing the item.
1:44
Cutting out extended warranties doesn't
1:46
mean you'll live recklessly. It just
1:48
means you're trusting the built-in
1:50
coverage and saving money on fear-based
1:52
upselling.
1:54
Three, brand name products. Marketers
1:57
want us to believe that paying more for
1:59
the brand means higher quality, but in
2:02
so many cases, store brands or generic
2:04
alternatives are virtually identical.
2:06
Whether it's groceries, over-the-counter
2:08
medicine, or household cleaning
2:10
supplies, the difference is often just
2:12
packaging and advertising. By switching
2:15
to generics for everyday items, you can
2:17
save a surprising amount of money
2:19
without sacrificing your lifestyle. The
2:21
orange juice still tastes like orange
2:23
juice, and the pain reliever still cures
2:25
your headache. You won't feel deprived,
2:27
you'll just feel smart. Four, bottled
2:31
water. This one is simple, but massive.
2:35
Bottled water is one of the biggest
2:37
everyday money wasters. Not only is it
2:39
environmentally harmful, but it costs up
2:41
to 300 times more than tap water. If
2:44
your local water is safe to drink,
2:46
invest in a good reusable bottle or
2:48
water filter. You'll save hundreds per
2:50
year, reduce plastic waste, and never
2:52
feel like you're missing out. Staying
2:54
hydrated doesn't have to mean draining
2:56
your wallet.
2:58
Five, bank fees, overdraft charges, ATM
3:02
fees, account maintenance fees. These
3:04
are silent killers of your budget. The
3:07
crazy thing is, you're literally paying
3:08
the bank to use your money. Many modern
3:11
banks and credit unions offer free
3:13
checking accounts and ATM
3:14
reimbursements. By switching or just
3:16
being mindful of how you withdraw cash,
3:19
you can eliminate these pointless
3:20
charges entirely. You'll still have full
3:23
access to your money just without paying
3:25
rent on it.
3:27
Six, impulse online shopping. Here's a
3:31
big one. You're scrolling through social
3:33
media. You see an ad and suddenly you've
3:35
bought something you didn't even know
3:37
you wanted 5 minutes ago. Online
3:39
shopping is engineered to make you buy
3:41
impulsively. Limited stock. Only two
3:44
left. Flash sale. But how often do those
3:46
purchases end up unused in a closet? By
3:49
creating a 24-hour rule, waiting a day
3:52
before buying, you'll find that most of
3:54
those musthaves don't feel so urgent
3:56
anymore. You're not restricting
3:58
yourself. You're just removing the
4:00
emotional trap and buying only what
4:02
truly adds value.
4:04
Seven, gym memberships you don't use.
4:07
Fitness is important, but let's be
4:09
honest, a lot of people pay for a gym
4:11
membership they barely use. Maybe you
4:13
plan to go five times a week, but in
4:15
reality, you go once a month. That's not
4:18
health. That's wasted money. If the gym
4:20
genuinely motivates you and you use it
4:22
consistently, keep it. But if not,
4:24
consider alternatives like home
4:26
workouts, running outdoors, or free
4:28
fitness videos online. You'll still stay
4:31
active, but you won't be throwing money
4:33
at a membership that only makes you feel
4:34
guilty. Eight, daily coffee runs. We're
4:39
not saying quit coffee. Coffee is life,
4:42
but buying it daily from cafes adds up.
4:45
$4 or $5 a cup, five times a week,
4:48
equals over $1,000 a year. The kicker is
4:51
that you can brew high-quality coffee at
4:53
home for a fraction of the cost. You'll
4:55
still get your morning caffeine ritual
4:57
just without draining your bank account.
4:59
And hey, you can even make it a little
5:01
ritual you look forward to. Lifestyle
5:03
unchanged. Money saved.
5:06
Nine. Cable TV packages. Let's be honest
5:09
here. How many of those 200, 300, or
5:12
even 500 channels on cable do you
5:15
actually watch? Most people stick to
5:18
three or four favorites, yet they keep
5:20
paying hundreds of dollars a month for
5:22
bloated packages filled with channels
5:24
they've never even clicked on. And
5:26
here's the thing, companies know this.
5:29
They design bundles so that you're
5:31
forced to pay for what you don't want
5:33
just to get the few things you do. But
5:35
today, entertainment doesn't have to be
5:37
that way. Streaming services like
5:40
Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime, or even
5:43
free platforms like YouTube give you
5:45
exactly what you care about at a
5:47
fraction of the cost. Some families save
5:49
over $1,000 a year simply by cutting the
5:52
cord, yet they still watch their
5:54
favorite shows, movies, and sports
5:55
without missing a beat. And beyond
5:58
saving money, think about the clutter it
6:00
removes from your mind. No more endless
6:02
scrolling through channels that mean
6:04
nothing to you. Just the content you
6:07
love on demand on your term. 10. Fancy
6:11
phone upgrades.
6:13
Every year, the same commercial plays
6:15
out. Sleek music, bright colors, and a
6:17
new phone that looks almost identical to
6:19
the one in your pocket. Suddenly, you're
6:21
being told that your perfectly fine
6:23
phone is too slow, too outdated, or
6:25
missing the newest camera trick. But
6:27
here's the truth. Most phones today are
6:29
built to last 3 to 5 years easily. The
6:32
apps, the internet, the camera, the
6:35
calls, all work just as well on last
6:37
year's model as they do on the shiny new
6:39
one. The only real difference is the
6:42
marketing making you feel left behind.
6:44
And let's talk money. Upgrading every
6:47
year or even every 2 years adds up to
6:50
thousands of dollars wasted. All for
6:52
tiny differences you won't even notice
6:54
after a week. Do you really need that
6:56
slightly brighter screen or that one
6:59
extra camera lens you'll rarely use? By
7:02
simply keeping your phone longer, even
7:04
just an extra year or two, you give
7:06
yourself hundreds of dollars back
7:07
without losing a single thing that
7:09
matters to your daily life. You'll still
7:11
scroll, text, snap, and stream just
7:13
fine. The only thing you'll lose is the
7:16
trap of upgrading for the sake of
7:18
upgrading. Remember this, your phone
7:21
isn't outdated. The marketing is
7:23
designed to make you feel like you are.
7:25
Hold on to your device and you'll hold
7:28
on to your money, too. So, there you
7:30
have it.
7:31
The top 10 expenses you can eliminate
7:34
without changing your lifestyle.
7:36
Notice something? None of these changes
7:39
require you to live smaller, deprive
7:41
yourself, or give up the things you
7:43
love. They're about cutting out the
7:45
waste, the sneaky little leaks that eat
7:47
away at your money without giving you
7:48
much in return. Imagine redirecting that
7:52
saved cash into investments, travel, or
7:55
experiences that actually matter. Now, I
7:58
want to hear from you. Which of these
8:00
expenses are you guilty of? And which

one are you cutting out starting today?
