A list of everything you’ve signed up for so you can keep track of it.
Overview
It’s easy to lose track of automatic payments. Especially those that renew annually. So this is a place to list them all in a JDex note, spreadsheet, or however you prefer.
This ID is not for scheduled payments that you set up. It’s for services where you have given someone permission to take money on a recurring basis, and it might be the only way they receive payment.
Seeing it all in one place can help with expected outgoings each week, month, or year. And if you want to pause or cancel anything, you’re not searching around to remember what you’ve got.
Examples
Software and apps; web services like hosting and domains; cloud storage; media and streaming services; transport and office supply subscriptions; memberships for gyms and clubs; charity donations; crowdfunding or financial support platforms; memberships for online communities and newsletters; payment agreements for professional services like your accountant; automatic direct debits for recurring expenses.
Exceptions
This is not for formal paperwork related to these services. Store that in the relevant place in the system, for example:
- a back office water cooler subscription lives in 12.25 Keep us fed and watered,
- a carshare subscription lives in 12.46 Public or shared transport & other ‘informal’ vehicles.
- a digital music subscription lives in 14.32 External software & services.
