I read a great piece a few days back that I wanted to quote from by Grant Sabatier who highlighted ways to save money by using a great app that has helped many save much. Great piece that I linked here as he went into extensive detail about the additional services that Truebill offers. I feel it is a great read but thee focus of the post was to focus solely on the subscription cancelation feature the I personally love.
Grant states, that “there are plenty of shady companies out there that rely on automated bill payments to siphon your cash. It could be months before you ever notice it on your credit card statements. The worst part is that many of these companies make canceling your subscription nearly impossible. That’s where Truebill comes in.”
Take Control of Your Money – IS TRUEBILL LEGIT?
“If you are diligent about looking over your banking account, which most of us aren’t, then you probably don’t need to use Truebill.
If you could use some help finding wiggle room in your budget, Truebill can help you review and manage your finances.
Even if you are a responsible spender, you can still benefit from Truebill’s additional features. Its ability to negotiate lower rates and credit you for downtimes in service make it a useful tool for nearly everybody. It charges you a substantial service fee for the effort, but it saves you from having to go through the trouble of calling companies yourself.
For starters, try out Truebill’s free version. If you like it, you can always upgrade. Either way, it’s worth testing out for yourself, says Sabatier.”

How to take control of your money month to month
Budgeting starts with visibility. List your income and every recurring bill, review a few months of statements, and sort spending into needs, wants, and savings. Once you can see the pattern, it is much easier to decide what to cut, negotiate, or cancel.
Budgeting apps can help, but choose carefully. Compare fees, read how the app handles your data before you link any bank account, and treat promised savings from bill negotiation as possible rather than guaranteed. If you try an app, review its results after a month and keep it only if it saves you more than it costs.
Choosing a budgeting tool
Simple tools such as a spreadsheet or your bank’s own alerts work well for many people. The best tool is the one you will actually check every week, so start simple and add features only when you need them.
