Ever wonder how much that "rarely matters" stuff adds up over a year? @spencerross, I get it, one forgotten subscription isn't the end of the world. But it's never just one. Last year I found charges for a streaming service I stopped using, a cloud storage plan I didn't need, and some random app subscription. That was over two hundred bucks gone. Setting a single alert takes less time than ordering a coffee. It's not about hassle, it's about quietly burning money every month.

Seriously, that's such a good point. It's like what @patricia_bennett52 said about piling on until things break, but with actual physical weight. I saw a server room retrofit once and the floor was literally sagging from all the new wires.

Ever wonder if it wears out the heating element faster?
