5. Streaming Video Services
Streaming video services like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime seem quite convenient, considering that they have a wide range of movies and shows. Plus, watching whatever you and your family want, whenever you want, also seems like a good deal.

Unfortunately, they charge you more when you’ve had a lapse, even if it’s partially their fault.
