I’m so lucky, my gym membership auto cancels if I don’t pay in advance.

Yep, my gym would love to cancel my membership. I also paid in advance: 2 years worth for a special limited-time promo. Now, I can renew yearly for $99. Only catch is, if it ever expires, it can't be joined again. They will pry it from my cold, toned hands!
