What's the story

In a world where binge-worthy shows, premium apps, and endless scrolls rule our routines, digital expenses sneakily drain your wallet.

From forgotten subscriptions to impulse in-app buys, these virtual habits pile up faster than your weekly screen-time report. But what if unplugging could not only declutter your mind but also fatten your savings account?

A digital detox isn't just a mental health trend. Let's explore savvy ways to slash digital spending and reclaim control of your money.

Many people sign up for free trials and forget to cancel them, resulting in unnecessary expenses.

By assessing which services you genuinely utilize, you can save hundreds of rupees monthly.

For instance, canceling a ₹500/month service you rarely use equates to a significant saving of ₹6,000 annually.
