My problem is I accumulate services over time, so I end up with services that are like a gym membership that’s used a few times then forgotten about. Then I notice on my credit card.

A rule I have to prevent that is to always terminate a service before getting a new one.

Central/Northern Europe. One of post soviet states with deep distrust towards political parties...

Smart idea. That’s like a hoarder making a rule to get rid of something before getting something else.
