    Actually, I don't pay for hardly any SaaS or Apps. Microsoft Office is the only exception, and the only thing I really need there is OneNote. (I use Word and Excel, but only because I've already paid for them to get OneNote - neither is essential.) Other than that, the only thing I pay for is storage for backups in S3. I also have a recent copy of CorelDraw Suite, but they've gone subscription now, so I'll have to find an alternative. Other than those, it's all open source.

    Netflix, Spotify, Amazon prime, Nytimes, HBR, Australian finance review https://afr.com, listing on https://hackerspad.net, Prime video, micro transactions on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabam.doam... around ~100 per month.

    Apps: Netflix, Notability, MindNode (discontinued), Memrise (discontinued)

    IaaS/ PaaS/ SaaS: Digital Ocean for VPS, Stripe for subscription billing, GoDaddy for domains, Dropbox for online storage and file sharing, Google Voice for phone number porting.

    Recently, I have been thinking about setting up a blog based site, not sure whether to setup my own on DigitalOcean or go with something like Wordpress.com. I just see too many attempts of WP exploits on my non-WP site, and haven’t come across any decent non-WP based blog driven site CMS.

    Nothing that needs recurring payments. If I cannot find a suitable program, generally I will try to write it by myself instead. Also even with proprietary programs I have already paid for, I will try to make a free software which is better.

    NetFlix and Spotify. And there's one that I'm not paying. And it helps my business a lot. https://www.reliabills.com/

    1Password. It's $4/mo, which (forgive me for sounding privileged) is nothing, and it works well across all devices.

    HEY, Netflix, Disney+, Dropbox, iCloud, Todist (won't subscribe to another year when it is up)

    Screenflow has paid for itself multiple times over- business use, personal use... I use it easily 5 to 10 times a week.

    lastpass, although I am looking for a better alternative,

    Office365

    Adobe photoshop and lightroom

    I am also paying for todoist and newsblur, although I moved to newsboat and will probably have to find another task manager. Maybe I will just use org-mode.
