Owning Nothing

You don’t own your phone.
You don’t own your software.
You don’t even fully own your car.

So what do you actually own?

Owning Nothing: The Subscription Trap Costing You Everything exposes the shift from ownership to access — and how it’s quietly draining your money.

From streaming services and software subscriptions to car features locked behind paywalls and rising costs hidden in everyday products, this book breaks down how companies are turning one-time purchases into lifelong revenue streams.

The price you see isn’t the price you pay.
The real cost comes later.

Written by “The People’s Journalist,” this book connects the dots between corporate strategy, rising costs, and the systems shaping your financial life — in plain language anyone can understand.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels more expensive, this is the answer.
