You keep a sharp eye on your budget. You buy ultra-low-cost index funds instead of actively managed ones, and you know that, unless you're behind the wheel of a Maserati, you can skip the premium gas. Still, you may be missing some "money leaks," those small expenses that you hardly notice but that add up over time. Some are costs you forgot you're shouldering. Others are regular bills you've been meaning to review for years. Yet another group is expenses you could save on if you took the time to check out cheaper options. Total up which of these leaks apply to you, and start savings hundreds -- even thousands -- a year. YOU SET IT AND FORGOT IT What was perfect for you five years ago may be costing you too much today.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
