Subscription Addiction: Breaking Free
from Monthly Slavery
by Michael G. Bomar

Introduction — The Chains You Can’t See
Look at your bank statement. Somewhere in the rows of numbers, there’s a quiet thief. It doesn’t
break into your home, it doesn’t demand your wallet at gunpoint—but it takes your money every
month, without fail.

It’s the subscription.
For the first time in history, humanity has normalized paying for dozens of tiny “memberships”
just to exist. Music? Subscription. Movies? Subscription. Work tools? Subscription. Cloud
storage? Subscription. Even cars, coffee machines, and fitness apps are lining up to rent you
what once could be owned.

The cost is more than money. It’s your freedom. The constant drip of auto-payments is not
convenience—it’s a form of modern slavery. People shrug at $9.99, but don’t see how ten,
twenty, or thirty subscriptions add up to financial handcuffs that silently tighten every month.
This book is not here to shame you. It’s here to wake you up—to pull back the curtain on how
corporations trap you in endless rent cycles, to show the psychology that makes canceling so
hard, and to hand you the tools to break free.

You don’t need to rent your life. You don’t need to rent your happiness. You don’t need to keep
feeding the machine.

The chains are invisible—but once you see them, you can break them.
