In his latest BBC Radio Kent segment, David Braithwaite, Money Mentor, explains how easy it is to forget about those small monthly charges and how they can quietly drain your finances. David shares practical tips for managing subscriptions, such as reviewing your bank statements regularly, cancelling unused services, and sharing subscriptions to reduce costs.
