**Note on assumptions & missing data**
- Assumed Dropbox ($9.99) is billed monthly, as no period was specified.
- Duplicate entry for Netflix ($15.99/mo) removed.
- NYT was skipped — no price was provided, only the word "subscription".
- Income % Share was omitted — provide your monthly take-home income to see what percentage goes to subscriptions.
