READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY PRODUCTS FROM ADOBE IM BEING CHARGED TO CANCEL PLAN

Yeah, obviously my bad. I'm not saying that it wasn't a mistake on my part.

I just find that it's ridiculous when canceling you get multiple screens popping up saying - 'are you sure you want to cancel?' 'this is what's going to happen if you cancel' 'you're going to lose all your benefits and be charged an arm and a leg'

Compared to, subscribing for a monthly plan which; by the way,  should be exactly what it says it is - A MONTHLY PLAN. There aren't any clarifying screens popping up warning you what's going to be charged and what you stand to gain or potentially lose. 

I just find it absolutely ridiculous that this is how they decide to treat their customers. I have never experienced a company charging a cancellation fee double or even triple the amount of the subscription itself without it being made perfectly clear. Especially for an app that I assume people may commonly only need for one project. I also didn't see any other options to be able to purchase for a shorter period of time to accommodate someone like me who has absolutely no use for an entire years worth of their products. It is completely asinine.
However, I understand that I am just naïve to assume the company would attempt to have some level of transparency. 

Thank you for the links pointing me in the correct direction. Let's see if they are actually helpful.
