Due to financial problems, should I cancel all my streaming services?

Such as Amazon Prime, Britbox, Netflix and YouTube Premium? The main reason I signed up for Britbox last year was for classic Doctor Who, and sold all my classic Who DVDs on eBay.

I use Amazon Prime for the 1 day deliveries all the time, and until recently I was a regular on Netflix for Cobra Kai and a few other bits.

However, I keep getting letters from the Bank every week that payments have been refused due to lack of funds, so should I cancel all my streaming services? I can't afford to cancel Amazon Prime, as if I did I'd have to pay for deliveries from Amazon and they'd take 3 times as long.

Help!

One option would be to cancel everything except Amazon, but I spend most of my life on YouTube, and having to contend with ads every few seconds would become annoying, fast so I'm loath to cancel Premium.

That's a call only you can make, but to help you make it...

Maybe reduce by half? Which services do you use the least?

Is this just for you? Can you share the cost with somebody else?

Well I could transfer Amazon to Dad, as he and Mum use Alexa a lot more than I do.
