Disney Plus Price Inflation 13.33 Percent!

On the heels of health insurance price inflation of 7 percent I wrote about here, I got a notice from Disney+ that their annual subscription price was going up from $139.99/year to $159.99/year. I opted to say goodbye. I wrote about streamlining (pun intended) my streaming services here in preparation for an economic recession and shoring up funds.

I hadn’t canceled Disney+ because it was on an annual subscription and the renewal wasn’t going to be until now and it’s been canceled.

I am in the process of cancelling Hulu however that subscription was a promo that was only costing $1/month and as soon as it ends, I will cancel the subscription.

Subscription Keepers

Here is a list of things I will keep going and the reason behind it.

• Boldin – I just signed up for Boldin after reviewing all the financial planning software. I will write a review later but it’s $120/year.
• Netflix – It’s the one streaming service that offers the best diversity of programming and I love their international movie portfolio.
• SeekingAlpha – This is an annual subscription and I like the tool for my investment portfolio but if they hike the price I may dump it. $299/year
• AmazonPrime – This is a combo retail & streaming service so I’ll keep it for now but I am considering canceling it since Walmart and Instacart are highly competitive now. $160/year
• Spotify – Love music, family sharing plan $20/month.
• ChatGPT – A tool for the future and I am learning about it as much as I can. $23/month
• FastGraphs – An investment tool I use periodically, may cancel it in the future.

Of course as things change and I have to react accordingly if there are new tools or subscription services that I may need but I am definitely in cost cutting mode as inflation continues to rage for services.
