About this episode

Ever feel like you're renting your life one monthly fee at a time? In this eye-opening episode of Common Folk, we delve into the growing frustration with the subscription-based economy. From streaming services to software, and even your morning coffee, it seems like everything now comes with a recurring charge.

Join us as we explore how companies are shifting from one-time purchases to monthly subscriptions, and what that means for the average consumer. We'll discuss the psychological and financial impacts of this trend, and whether it's time to hit the unsubscribe button.

Tune in for a candid conversation filled with humor, insights, and a touch of nostalgia for the days when buying something meant it was yours to keep.
