15 People Admit What They Think Is a Total Waste of Money

Of course, everyone can do whatever they want with their own money, but the purchases that some people make can be very…puzzling…

And I’ll let you get what those purchases might be…

But, in the meantime, let’s take a look at what folks on AskReddit had to say about this!

“Expensive and flashy cars.

A cheaper one will get you from A-B just as much.

Stop putting your social worth in how nice a hunk of metal looks.”

“Going to nasty and loud bars/nightclubs and paying all those overpriced drinks and entry fees.

If you want invite me on one, you’ll better pay for ME since I definitely won’t have fun.”

“Visiting any country that’s hot/humid.

You can’t enjoy your trip when you’re feeling like you’re stuck in a giant convection oven.”

“Paying big dollars to go to a sporting event.

Once upon a time, going to say an NFL or NBA game was not that expensive, but now it’s like the same cost as flying across the country for mediocre seats.

And I see the people that pay for this experience, most of them have absolutely no business doing it. It’s almost when you see elderly people just cashing in their Social Security checks at a casino.”

“Strip clubs are the biggest waste.

You go in ho**y and leave horn**r.”

“Designer handbags and apparel.

It probably costs $50 to make and it’s marked up to $5,000.”

“Paying $15 for a combo at a fast food restaurant and then realizing while you’re eating you could have gone to the restaurant next door and had a quality sit down meal for the same price.”

“Starbucks.

It’s nice once every few months, but I’d never get it every day.”

“Weddings.

Pay the minimum possible amount and be done with it.

Don’t go into your new life in debt.

You’re just being tricked by society.”

“Donating to charities by signing up with one of those people that comes up to you in the street.

If you want to donate to the charity, just go home and do it yourself, then some of your donation won’t go to paying the person’s commission for signing you up.”

“NFTs.

You’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to own something that doesn’t exist.”

12. Inefficient.

“Taxes.

Government spending is so wildly inefficient and a good chunk of our taxes don’t even go towards helping our fellow citizens.”

“Buying a new phone every year.

They don’t change much anyway.”

“Fast food. I always feel worse after I eat it.

More full. But sluggish and regretful…”

“Paying for “premium” membership on online platforms, whether it be dating, books, movies, games etc.”
