I just saw my monthly 'digital convenience' fees hit $47. That's more than my water bill.

My property's water bill is triple that, so I'd take your deal.

Oof, that's brutal.

Read an article last week calling these fees the new "junk fees" of the digital age. They just quietly add a few dollars for "service" or "processing" to every single subscription. It all adds up without you really noticing until you check the statement. Makes me want to go through my own bank account and cancel a few things I forgot about.

Totally get where you're coming from but honestly, $47 for digital convenience doesn't sound crazy to me. That's like a few streaming services, cloud storage, and maybe a music app right? Water bills are way lower in a lot of places so I wouldn't call it a junk fee situation, just the cost of how we live now.
