Stack that stays small

Bank export + Sheet + calendar reminder.

Tools named here: Rocket Money, Sheets, Calendar. Prefer official docs and native features before adding another SaaS.

Ship the automation

Export last 90 days of card charges monthly.

Tag each as Keep / Replace / Kill.

Cancel Kill the same day — do not ‘decide later’.

Calendar: subscription audit first Monday each month.

Keep it honest

If you cannot name the weekly job a tool does, cancel it.

Automations should reduce decisions and errors — not hide broken processes. If a Zap fails weekly, fix the process or delete the Zap.
