That $60 anime streaming subscription I forgot to cancel for 8 months

I signed up for a niche anime streaming service back in January to watch one specific series, then completely forgot about it until I checked my bank statement yesterday. Turns out they charged me $60 total over 8 months for a service I used for maybe 2 weeks. Has anyone else lost track of a subscription like this, or am I just the worst at remembering these things?

Oh man, I feel your pain so much. I did the exact same thing with a cooking app last year, signed up for a month to get some recipes and just totally spaced on canceling. It was like $50 over 5 months before I caught it, and honestly I got so mad at myself I couldn't even enjoy the food I made after that. The worst part is those companies make it just easy enough to sign up and just hard enough to cancel that you forget. I set a calendar reminder now every time I sign up for anything, even free trials, just to avoid that sinking feeling. It's not just you, these services are basically designed to slip through the cracks.

Hate when that happens, it's basically free money for them.
