Find the spending you have not noticed

Find where money is going that I have not noticed.

**Look for, in this order:**
1. **Recurring charges I did not list as recurring** — ***the same merchant appearing more than twice***
2. **Things paying for the same need twice** — overlapping services, two subscriptions covering one thing
3. **Convenience premiums** — **the same item bought in a more expensive way.** *Delivery over pickup, small pack over large, late over planned*
4. **Charges tied to a decision I already reversed** — a service for something I stopped doing
5. **Fees** — transfer, late, foreign currency, minimum-balance, ATM. ***These are small and pure loss***
6. **Free trials that converted**
7. **Spending that clusters** — several purchases on the same day or after the same trigger. **Say what the pattern is, not what it means about me**

**Per finding:** what it is / how often / **what action would stop it, concretely** / ***whether stopping it costs something***

⚠️ ***Do not calculate or total anything.*** **Do not estimate what I would save.** **Do not tell me to stop any of it** — some of these are worth paying for and I am the one who knows which. **Where the data is not enough to tell, say so rather than inferring a pattern.**
