An unexpected bill

I wish I was kidding but a provider really did billed me 3 cents for that belief time that the 1GB storage was activated for.
I mean I paid it off as soon as I got the invoice through email but I was like really? Couldn't you just have it as a balance and bill me if/when the balance hits a certain amount?
Even the VM provider I use for backing up purposes requires a top off of $5 increments to prevent such "stupid" incidents.

It wasn't a bill but it was an unexpected monthly expense.. everything resumes into my old car, i had to spend over 400$ just to make the engine start, still hurts me even though i sold it already.
$850 for hosting a website renewable bull LOL for three years worth so it was not bad.
I second that, if the hosting account/service is up there in quality, service quality, resources and such it can indeed be a good term.
To me though, I often don't even consider them since prepayments are often not worth it (your lucky to get 10% off your bill and I would argue for the longest term possible to dope in the 2x% or even higher). As well as not being able to "return" unused months which I think as long as discounts are redacted accordingly I think should be a business standard. To permit a client to request this and get honored.
Here's something to think about. My marriage was a giant unexpected bill. It cost me thousands and thousands of dollars.
My ex wife was in debt when we married. She has a spending problem big time. She doesn't care about her credit score. She'll order credit cards and run them up and not pay them. She ordered checks from her old bank, she went around with her friends and wrote bad checks when there wasn't money in her account. She got a citation and had to go pay it in town that was an hour away. She lied to me about that and blamed it on someone saying that someone stole her check book. She never confessed. But after the divorce and how she acted 11 years later. I realized that it was her that was responsible for that because I had to pay the ticket and her negative balance in the bank.
After we married all of her debt collectors came after me too. I got a bill in the mail that was over 1,500 dollars. Her college sued her because she wasn't able to pay her student loans. So I took money out of our savings and paid off one of her bills. When we divorced, she still had over 18 thousand dollars in debt from student loans and a loan on a truck she took out.
Over the course of our marriage, this happened between 2010 and 2012, she took 2 credit cards out in my name and ran them up. I paid them all off. At the time I had a car payment which I paid off in 2015. My credit score was complete shit between the car loan and the late payments on it and the credit cards.
In 2019, months before she came home and begged for a divorce. She had taken out a credit card in my name and told me we needed it in case of emergencies. She ran it up over a 650 dollars on gas, cigarettes' and liquor. Again, I paid it off with whatever I had saved in my new bank account.
When we got our tax refund. She'd want to go blow it on car loans that neither of us could afford to pay or buy things that were ridiculously overpriced. She also would take the kids and go on a month long vacation with that money and leave me at home to work because I couldn't take a vacation. I almost felt like she was doing it to cause us financial hardship or she was just financially retarded.
She'd take my paychecks and blow them or give money to her abusive sociopath of a sister. Her sister owes me 2 thousand dollars. That's money my ex wife gave her and she also stole hundreds of dollars from me out of my wallet that she'll never pay back.
My ex wife told me she'd pay me for half of the divorce. She never paid half. I paid 2 thousand dollars to my lawyer.
I gave her at least 1,500 dollars in small amounts for the kids. Only for her to go blow it on her friends and boyfriend who was a meth addict, who introduced her to meth. She's been riding the meth train ever since. Her family told me not to ever give her another dime.
So yea. My ex wife was a giant bill that I'd been paying on for over 10 years. It went from simple gifts to her ripping me off and I was too weak of a person to do stand up and say no and to tell her to quit taking advantage of me. I didn't say no because I loved her and I felt bad for her because she had been abused as a child. I sincerely wanted her to be happy. I just didn't realize that it would come at the cost of my job, my happiness, and my sanity.

I'm sorry but I can't read all of that. Sounds like it was not as high then, wasn't it.
NOT. way to much in my mind
Some yearly renewal bills for $100. Less didn't expect and more forgot.
If this is regular occurrence you might be able to either switch to manual billing or ask for that.
Worst case I would once a month go through all your subscriptions and be like "do I really still use this? If so is it worth this amount per increment?". If not press that cancel button while your at it so you don't forget again.
