Personally, I pay for feedly (rss reader), G Suite domain (for my personal email), beyondpod (podcast app for android), mighttext (syncs sms to gmail), todoist premium (task/to do app).
Media: Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime, put.io
Personal "Work": GitHub, Heroku, Photoshop, Sketch, Dribbble Pro
Workflow: Superhuman, Dropbox, 1Password
Donations: Wikipedia, Watsi
I am paying for: Spotify, G-Suite (personal email), and Go-Daddy (domain - does this also count?).
Otherwise, I also used to be a monthly donor to Watsi. I love the information, timeline, and follow up they have about the patients. They also sent me a lovely hand-written letter (may I add with my name hand-written!) and booklet once that I still have - think it was around Christmas time too.
For someone who spends most of my time in email, definitely. It's $29/mo, which is nothing for how much time I spend. It's really fast, and as a vim user I love how everything can be done with a keyboard shortcut. They have a ton of awesome little features, such as auto-BCCing people in intros, or snippets (which are way more than you'd expect... you can use snippets to do things like auto-CC someone you CC a lot, or insert text).
I mean, at the end of the day, it's still just an email client. However so far, I've really liked a lot of the nice little features and attention to detail.

I used to pay for Crashplan until they terminated the plan I was on.
I hop on and off the paid plan of my own SaaS just to test the payment flow from time to time ;-)
I think Code42 ended up removing their consumer business to Carbonite in some form of partnership. Looks like Crashplan is just for businesses these days.
I don’t know about you, but I won’t let anyone else own my email-address, my digital identity.
Atlantic.net (Hosting), Fastmail, Discord Nitro, Todoist, Private Internet Access, Twilio
Some that I paid for in excess of 1+ years (or Lifetime):
Freedom.to, Brain.fm
Couple that I'm using premium plans, but not currently paying for (prolonged trial offers, etc.):
Reddit Gold (still have several years left), Todoist
As for my spending I guess I also fall short of the above point: Play Music - music streaming, Netflix - chill, Github - Private repos, GSuite - mostly emails, GDrive - storage, Namecheap - Domains, Google Cloud and AWS - cloud stuff, Asana - side project management, AdWords - side project marketing
If I am going to build a business, I would like to be reasonably sure that the tools I'm using to build it won't suddenly close if they lack funding.
Of course, this is by no means any guarantee, as there's also the case where a startup is so successful that some bigger company will buy it and close down the service anyway.
Also: Netflix, Prime, iCloud, and CrunchyRoll.
R# actually overwrites many default VS key bindings and provides the same functionality, just with a different UI. So people are like "hey look what I can do!", when in actuality they could have done the same thing without R#.
Also, it's a resource hog. I've only met a handful of people who contest this - and they are long time users, who haven't gone without resharper recently (full uninstall) for a meaningful period of time.
- create delegating methods
- create equality methods
- create formatting members (ie override ToString() and just click on the properties - mostly for debugging)

This list doesn't include things like converting some patterns back and forth to Linq expressions, converting foreach to for, better extract method that takes advantage of local methods and lets you choose which variables you want to capture, and various other code hints.
It also doesn't include safely adding and removing parameters, intelligently knowing when a class is used via DI when you are looking for unknown classes.
The unit test runner is also much better than the built in VS Test runner.
G-Suite: mostly for email for my personal domain
Netflix: streaming video
101domain: domain registrar
Amazon Prime: faster free shipping
DigitalOcean: virtual machines
AWS: cloud stuff
In that case DirectTV, Hulu no commercials, Netflix (not really its free with T-Mobile) and everything I said below.
NearlyFreeSpeech for web-site hosting.
VentraIP for my .id.au domain. This includes DNS and email forwarding. The email forwarding is awesome - no need for G-Suite just for personal email domain. I just use a regular Gmail account.
Cerberus for phone anti-theft on all family phones.
I use to pay for Lastpass and Xmarks, but they shut Xmarks down, and the free offering of Lastpass expanded to include the features I needed. (To be honest, I've been looking to move off Lastpass since LogMeIn bought them, but especially since they shuttered Xmarks. That really rankles.)
As for actual SaaS: Backblaze personal, Adobe full suite ($400 per year I think, gives me everything I need for art/video projects), A password manager, and... that's it actually! No netflix, no google, no dropbox, I'll probably keep it this way.
* Postman: an awesome tool for API work (I'm not affiliated)
* Amazon Glacier: cheap offsite backup of photos/video (also not affiliated)
I buy music at Bandcamp, bleep and direct at artist pages. I buy movies at rifftraxx.
I donate to various FOSS projects with money and time.
#education: onemonth udacity/coursera as needed Gotham
#entertainment: HBO netflix hulu youtube Red (music)
#other: dashlane dragon dicatate amazon prime apple storage
I use the free tier of many other services.
Glacier. Very cheap storage, but extremely inconvenient.
Spotify: music subscription
Github: private repos
1password: password manager
FastMail for email from said site
Dropbox for storage
Spotify for music
And the $1 icloud upgrade (for ios backups)
Donations: Wikipedia, Firefox
