I am saving money around the household by using media applications I wrote for media playlists, asset management, server management and dashboard, and more. Why pay for app store nonsense or subscriptions when I can do it better myself and with greater flexibility/durability.

That's interesting. How much do you save per month?

I am not really sure. It negates me needing to subscribe to all audio services and some video services. I don't need to buy corresponding media apps for my iPhone. The internet can go down and my stuff will continue working just the same on my home network.

I think I spend about $60 per month on streaming services. How many hours are you working on these projects because it may be more beneficial to do a few hours of consulting rather than saving a few dollars here in there.
