10 Ways to Needlessly Spend Money
I have personally spent my money on silly things as research for this post, so you won’t have to. No, no need to thank me.
- Browse in shops to kill time. Don’t be discriminatory, any price range will do.
- Don’t eat/drink before you leave the house so you get hungry when you’re out.
- Slow your pace as you pass one of those corner stalls selling sunglasses and handbags and snowglobes. I do like snowglobes, though.
- Join a gym and never go. Then upgrade your membership in case it motivates you. It doesn’t.
- Supersize and then don’t finish the meal.
- Do something touristy and then purchase a mediocre $20 photo of yourself doing it. (Honestly, there’s one staring at me on my desk right now. I keep it there as a reminder of how not to spend my money.)
- Use a credit card and don’t pay your balance for months.
- Buy a magazine that is 90% filled with makeup and clothes that “you totally need this summer!”
- Buy a new book and then scribble all through it so you can’t on-sell.
- Don’t floss. But really, why does it have to be so boring?
How do you needlessly spend your money?
