I like to own my things. Many people believe that using a subscription service is cheaper, but this is not always true in the long run. Subscription services are usually cheaper than purchasing all the items individually, but you probably don’t need them all. Music subscription services, for instance, can cost about 18,000 yen per year. You may therefore be spending a lot more than you would normally. Moreover, people often do not quit these services and tend to continue with them, so they end up spending much more money. Therefore, I believe owning only the music you like is better than using music subscription services.
