9. Internet Service
Similar to gym memberships, these services often reel you in with an attractive promotion that seems like a genuinely good deal, but after a few months or a year, suddenly your monthly costs start ticking up without your noticing.
Either the promotion has lapsed or the billing structure changed and suddenly you’re paying almost double what you’d agreed to. It’s time to call them and get a better plan—or a better service provider.
One common way people overpay is the monthly “rental fee” the provider charges you for using their modem, usually costing you $5 to $10 to month. You should be sure to get your own modem and return the provider’s ASAP.
