My neighbor's yard sale made me check my own spending
He sold a bunch of stuff he bought on impulse and said it was like getting a tax refund. I went home and canceled three subscriptions I forgot about, saving $45 a month. Anyone else do a 'spending audit' after seeing something simple like that?

My buddy saw his sister's packed storage unit and had a total lightbulb moment. He went through his own garage and found a bunch of unopened hobby gear he'd bought years ago, stuff he totally forgot he even owned. It's crazy how seeing someone else's clutter can snap your own spending into focus.

That's a solid move, but it's not really a tax refund. More like getting your own money back that you were just wasting. Good catch on those subscriptions though.

Isn't it still a refund if the government gives you money back? They had it, now I have it. Feels the same in my bank account.
