My mom loved receiving magazines and paid all the invoices when they came. The next thing I knew, her house was filled with duplicate issues, magazines she never had time to read, and she didn't know why they kept coming. Sadly, dementia was starting. When I took over her finances, it was startling to realize that over a one-year period, she had paid out over $2,000 in magazine subscriptions and it took me another year to get them stopped.
