About

I’m Henry Anderson. I write about the money that quietly leaks out of ordinary households through software: subscriptions nobody remembers starting, scam calls that sound increasingly legitimate, smart devices that report more than they should, and the small settings that separate a safe digital life from an expensive one.

I’m not a security researcher or a financial advisor. I’m a careful spender who reads the fine print so you don’t have to, and who tests every recommendation in this blog on my own family’s devices before publishing it.

What you’ll find here#

Subscription audits — real numbers from real household bills, cut down line by line
Scam breakdowns — actual calls, texts, and emails I receive, taken apart script by script
Privacy settings — practical walkthroughs for phones, TVs, and apps, with no tinfoil hat
Buying guides — short checklists that help you decide before you pay, not after

How this site works#

Every article is written by me. When I mention a price, a policy, or a setting path, I verified it on the day of publishing and noted the date. When something changes, I update the post rather than quietly letting it rot. If I ever recommend something I have a financial interest in, I’ll say so at the top of the article — so far, that has never happened, because this site earns nothing except what display advertising covers.
