Step 2 The problem of not reviewing fixed costs after the household structure changes when children move out

→

Step 3 The problem of having no tool to redesign all household fixed costs—Insurance, Subscriptions, telecom, maintenance—at once

Problem

After their 2 children move out, a 55-year-old couple continues paying for 4-person Insurance (with child riders), a family bundled telecom plan, a 4-person OTT Subscription, and maintenance fees for an oversized home. Switching each item to a 2-person basis could save $225–$600/month (~30–80만원), but the complexity of Insurance cancellation losses, telecom early termination penalties, and shared account issues when canceling Subscriptions makes it impossible to know where to start. Financial advisor consultations ($75–$225 per session, ~10–30만원) are focused on selling investment products and have no interest in fixed-cost reduction.

Solution

Users input their current monthly fixed expenses (Insurance premiums, telecom bills, Subscription fees, maintenance fees, automatic payments, etc.) and the system recommends the optimal 2-person household configuration. It compares savings vs. penalties/losses for each item to calculate net savings, ranks conversion priorities by ROI, and provides step-by-step switching instructions for each item—down to exactly who to call and what to say.

Target: Couples aged 52–60 who are 1–3 years post-children's independence, still maintaining 4-person household fixed costs, interested in pre-Retirement budget optimization

Revenue Model: Fixed-cost diagnostic is Free. Per-item switching guide + net savings Report PDF for $6 (~7,900 KRW). Referral commissions for Insurance restructuring and telecom switching.
