If you can relate to the scenarios we mentioned above, we think you just turned 30! And we promise you that you will find the information we provide in this article extremely useful.

In this blog, we are going to talk about the five types of subscriptions you should have once you turn thirty because now is the time you need to take care of yourself, build yourself and, of course, entertain yourself! Let’s tell you this, once you get to the end of this blog, you will be sure about the subscriptions you need and more importantly, you will know why you need them.

So, here are the five types of subscriptions we think you should have once you hit 30:

If you noticed, we are going to talk about subscriptions, not purchases. This means just one thing — you are not going to have to spend a lot of money.

You must have seen so many products and services that have been made available on subscription. The subscription model is much more than a change in habit. It’s a fundamental shift in the way we access products and services. Subscription is the new norm for many consumers because they come with added advantages such as continuous product updates and low monthly investments. So, subscription is the way to go. Now, we will take you through the five types of subscriptions you must have once you have hit the big 3–0!

1. A subscription that will help you get some exercise and movement

You should try to stay fit and always encourage your loved ones to stay fit. But staying fit becomes even more important once you turn 30. They say that your twenties are your selfish years. But once you cross that, you should take care of your body more by getting enough exercise. While you might want to do this, there is something exciting about sleeping in and waking up just in time for work, isn’t it?

If you are going on a vacation, you will be ready to wake up as early as required. This is because you are looking forward to the experience. So, try to make your workout exciting by subscribing to the right services. There are so many mobile applications on subscription that offer you a diverse range of fitness sessions — from boxing to yoga to dance sessions, you can choose to do what suits your mood. You burn calories too!

Also, if you don’t feel like stepping out, you can go ahead and watch their DIY workout videos. There are so many apps on subscription that let you do this. A few of them are Cult.Fit, FITPASS, and FitCircle. So, if you want to get started with your fitness journey, you know what to do.

2. A subscription that will help you choose what you want to watch easily

When you are in your twenties, “What’s the plan for the weekend?”, is an exciting question. But in your thirties, you will probably just want to get back home from work on Friday, have a good dinner, and get ready to watch all your favourite shows or movies. And yes, you have earned it.

That is why we feel that you should have subscriptions that will help to keep yourself and your family entertained. The best part about all this is that you don’t even need a TV to watch movies, shows, and documentaries, you can watch it on your phone.

You can subscribe to any of the over-the-top (OTT) platforms and pay on a monthly basis. If you feel that you don’t need the subscription next month, just don’t pay for it. That’s it.

There are many OTT platforms to choose from. You can subscribe to the one(s) that you think will provide you with the type of content you will love to watch. A few options are Disney+Hotstar, Amazon Prime, and Zee5.

So, sit back and relax with your family as you watch your favourite shows and movies online. And yes, don’t forget to get some popcorn, and cold drinks too! 😉

3. A subscription that will help you have “intelligent” conversations

When you go to the office cafeteria to get your morning coffee, you see that your colleagues are having an intense conversation about something. It is fun if you can join in but what if you don’t know what they are talking about?

We can imagine what you are thinking right now — How am I supposed to know about everything? The answer to your question is simple. You don’t have to know everything. But it is important to stay updated about current affairs. It not only helps you have conversations with your colleagues, but it also helps you transmit the knowledge to your loved ones. This can be really important if you have children in the house.

But this does not mean you have to read the entire newspaper every day. You can scroll through reliable news apps to receive relevant domestic and international news.

Here are a few mobile apps for news that you can check out — Google News, Economic Times, and The Hindu.

Once you subscribe to the news apps, you can rely on them to provide you with your daily dose of news from around the world.

4. A subscription that will help you consume sufficient safe drinking water

You need to consume clean and safe water to ensure that you stay healthy.

Quick question, did you drink enough water today? If not, here’s a reminder to have a glass of water now.

If you are someone who stays in a city like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, or Delhi, away from home, you would have found ways to get drinking water at home. You might be either getting water in water cans or bottles. While you get water in plastic cans and bottles, have you ever wondered about the quality of water you are consuming? If you have, you would have definitely searched for water purifiers you can get for your home.

But they are really expensive, aren’t they? But it does not mean that you should consume water of questionable quality. This is when the subscription model comes in handy.

Don’t be surprised. You can get water purifiers on subscription too. It is not only easy to subscribe to them but they are also affordable. By getting a water purifier on subscription, you are solving two problems — the problem of your drinking water quality and the problem of having to make a hefty investment to purchase a water purifier.

So, if you are looking for a water purifier on a subscription basis, you can check out DrinkPrime and choose the most suitable subscription plan. You just need to pay the monthly subscription amount.

5. A subscription that will help you eat healthy

If you have decided to start working out, you should start eating healthy too. If you are staying with family, there are chances that you eat home food. But if you are staying alone, we are dedicating this last section to you.

With your busy office schedule, meetings, and travel, you may just not find enough time to focus on your eating habits. While you may skip your breakfast, you will probably go for lunch at the nearby restaurant with your colleagues. When you get back home, you would probably order dinner using one of the food delivery apps like Swiggy or Zomato. You may not realise it but it is important to eat healthy now so that you stay healthy in the future.

This is why we felt the need to include the healthy food subscription options in this article. Most of them are subscription boxes that consist of healthy and homemade meal options. The best part is that you can use mobile apps to cancel or even reschedule your meals.

Here are a few options you should check out — EatFit, Fitmeals, Lo!Foods, Live Alt Life, Food Darzee, Fittr and happyGrub. You can thank us later.

You now know the type of subscriptions you need and the apps you can consider to get the best services, products, and experiences on a subscription basis. So, being 30 isn’t so bad after all.

We hope our suggestions help you meet the goals you have set for yourself. We also hope that you find the perfect OTT platform so that you can binge-watch your favourite shows.

And here’s a tip: You don’t have to try to change or do everything at once. You can take one step at a time. It is still a step towards your goal.
