In an age where convenience is king, we’ve all become loyal subjects in the land of subscriptions. From streaming platforms to telco plans, subscription-based services are like knights in premium armour that gallop around to save us a lot of time and effort.
Yet, this convenience does come at a cost and it’s a price that’s beginning to weigh heavily on Malaysian consumers.
Subscription overload!
A recent report revealed that Malaysians suffer from ‘subscription fatigue’ where 91% of users feel that there are too many subscription services to choose from. Furthermore, 79% of consumers say that they are managing more than two subscriptions simultaneously, while 11% are juggling six or more services at once!
And if you think that trying to remember birthdays and anniversaries was hard enough, 60% of peeps are saying that they can’t even keep track of their subscription billing dates—making it that much harder to manage household expenses.
Netflix and Chill? More like Netflix and Bills!
Just think about it. Between Netflix, Spotify, that gym membership you hardly use, and don’t forget about your trusty telco plan… These individual expenses seem like pocket change, but if you’re shelling out, say, RM50 a month for each of those, plus around RM100 for your phone plan, that’s already RM250 a month or a total of RM3000 a year!
Now here’s the kicker! Some telcos might be low-key overcharging you too! Yep, those sneaky call charges, data caps, roaming fees, booster packs and outdated offerings can add to extra hidden costs—lurking in the shadows of your monthly bill just waiting to pounce and suck your wallets dry.
And mind you, we’re not even factoring in your other bills and loans 🤯
Now ask yourselves—are those subscriptions really worth the financial headache, or is there a way to streamline your expenses and squeeze more value out of ‘em?
YES, there is!
