Your Biggest Waste of Money?

remember buying a PS2 game for £20 which wouldn't start so that.

Accidentally going over my phone bill by £200, managed to get £100 back off the phone company as their customer service was rubbish. Expensive lesson learned.

Imo 24-month contract phones are the biggest waste of money. My contract ends in September and i'm sticking with my phone and going with a sim only rolling contract. Screw contracts. Next time i'm saving and then buying.

Expensive smartphones too imo are a waste. All i want is something that can make calls, run Facebook, run Whatsapp and is strong enough.

Booking a flight to New York that I ended up not being able to take :frown:

Cost £500 of which I got back about £150, but still, £350 down the drain :unimpressed:

Yeh i'm just going to go PAYG when my contract runs out in a few months. Don't see the point in paying £30 a month for unlimited texts and loads of minutes/data when I never call anyone and there's only 3 people I ever text.

On topic, I can't think of one specific thing but I can easily piss away £100+ a week without putting any thought in to it. I'm really good at budgetting when I have to, but when I know I have money in my account i'm awful.

Probably my undergraduate degree (chose the wrong subject, now having to do post-grad to get to where I want).

Also I ran up a £157 phone bill using my mobile abroad. It wouldn't connect and I didn't realise it was charging a load every time I tried...

Taking out a £40k loan secured on my house to set up a business that went bust within a year, ultimately causing me to nearly get repossessed. Fun times.

Buying clothes online because I hate shopping that much, and they don't fit when they arrive.

Probably the like 7 foundations I have sat in my make-up drawer that are too dark for my skin tone so won't get used for the most part, and they're too light for anyone I know to give them to.

Also back when I was really struggling with EDNOS and was just doing a bunch of stupid dangerous **** to lose just any weight, I got scammed on diet pills and lost like £100. Lesson learnt, was an idiot but when you're that messed up and desperate it's so easy to fall into.

There's quite a few clothing websites that offer free returns like Very and I think ASOS. Might be a good thought :smile:
