Hit my goal of clearing 500 unread emails this morning

I had 8,432 unread emails last week, and I finally got it down to 3,112 after a weekend purge. Mostly it was old newsletters and spam, but I found a receipt for a $40 subscription I forgot about. Anyone else find forgotten money in their inbox cleanup?

Last time I did a big inbox clean up I found an email from 2017 with a gift card code I never used. It was for like $15 at Chipotle so not life changing but still felt like a win. I also found an old Groupon for a massage that had already expired so that stung a bit. The worst part was finding out I'd been paying for a cloud storage service for three years that I only used for like two months back in 2019. Makes you wonder how much money we're just bleeding out to forgotten subscriptions.

Yeah, the cloud storage thing hits close to home. I had a similar wake up call when I checked my bank statements and saw I'd been paying for a music streaming service for almost two years after I stopped using it. It's wild how these auto payments just slide under the radar like that.
