Hi there I am 26(F) referring to my friends (25 and 26 year olds). They all have stable jobs, high paying jobs OR high hours per week. I was working a seasonal job and recently got laid off in April. I am currently job searching, but unemployed.

For the past year/two years, I have been paying for Spotify Premium Family with them on as family members. I also have a streaming service I do not personally use but two-three times a year, but they all do so I have kept it. Additionally, they all have logins to my other streaming services I have. About three months ago, I got an outside of the household member account for one of my friends on Netflix. Today, I downgraded to Spotify premium solo, Standard Netflix with no additional outside members, and canceled the other streaming service. I just can’t afford it anymore. I let them know I was doing so today, and that they have until the end of the billing period to watch and consume whatever they want on the respective apps.

For clarification: no one was paying me/chipping in for access or membership for spotify, it was all my money.

I can tell they are sad but am I the a-hole for cancelling without trying something else first? They still have access to my other accounts and plan to let them use it.
