What is a money leak?
A money leak is a repeat expense or spending habit that no longer feels intentional. It can be an unused subscription, a recurring charge that increased, delivery fees, duplicate services, or frequent convenience purchases.
The useful question is not whether every purchase is wrong. It is whether a cost still earns a place in your month.
- Review recurring charges before a renewal date passes.
- Compare a recent spending category with your usual pattern.
- Choose one practical change and check whether it actually stuck.
