Finally ditched my $200/month gym membership for home workouts and it actually stuck

I used to pay $200 a month for a fancy gym downtown and barely went 3 times a week. After 6 months of that waste, I canceled it and bought a $50 pull-up bar and some used dumbbells off Facebook Marketplace. Now I workout in my apartment 5 days a week and spend zero dollars on it. The real win was realizing I was paying for convenience I never used. Has anyone else made the switch and felt guilty about how much they wasted before?

Man I felt personally attacked reading this, that's basically a mirror of my own bank statements from last year. At least we're both finally getting our money's worth out of our living rooms now.

Same. My couch and I have a real relationship now.
