Cigarettes

[deleted] replied:

I was never a smoker, but years ago, I worked at a medical office part time. The office manager was a former smoker. Her husband had been on her to quit for years. Finally, he said if she quit, he would take the money she would have spent on cigs (2 pack/day habit), put it in a savings account and take her to Hawaii, which had always been a dream of hers.

Well, it was the motivation she needed. For 2 years, he put that money into an account on her 2 year quit-a-versary, they took a first class trip to Hawaii for two weeks, completely paid for with cigarette money.

She'd been seven years cigarette free when we worked together.

Weddings. A family member will have spent over $60,000 on her wedding that is this summer. They don’t even own a house. And 65%( after gifts from both parents) is credit card debt . If you have the money spend it on what you want but I just find it incredibly narcissistic to get yourself in so much debt because you need your ‘big day’.

Name-brand shoes for toddlers and pre-schoolers. They’re not gonna stay clean and they’ll grow out of them faster than you think.

Gold flake covered food

buttgers replied:

Looks tacky.

Has no nutritional value.

No enhanced flavor.

It's one of those "because you can" status symbols, but it's a stupid one.

Invading a neighboring/foreign country. As we are seeing right now Russia is doing a marvelous job of creating so many financial problems for itself and its people in the very near future. Like monday near future.

Buying new electronics every year just because it’s a new model.

I genuinely can’t fathom why people upgrade their phones on a yearly basis. 99% of what you do with the phone stays the same.

From what little I understand of it I’m going to say NFTs

DanF*****gSchneider replied:

At least with crypto, when you lose big all you do is lose your house. When you lose big with NFTs, you lose your house, and also “own” a picture of a monkey forever to remind you that you’re financially incompetent.

Diamonds because of all the artificial scarcity, I was told if anything buy precious stones. That’s why if you look at royalty they always have rare or precious stones.

Not having money. Stick with me here:

When you need shoes, you buy cheap and they don’t last

Fast food is convenient and cheap, but not good

You end up renting and can’t build equity.

Being financially unwell is a waste of money.

This. There's a limit to how much a person can spend on a drug addiction without killing themselves. A gambling addiction can destroy multigenerational wealth if it gets out of control.

Kids.

mascottaricotta replied:

As an adult now I think back of all the money that my mother did end up wasting for me up until I moved out, and I feel terrible because she never had a lot. Kids and teenagers are constantly growing and figuring out who they are and what they like. There is a lot of trial and error, and as a parent frequently you're gonna pay for things that don't get used. Toys that don't get played with, clothes the kid wears once or twice, hobbies that get abandoned, etc.. it's part of life I guess. My mum did an amazing job not letting me worry about finances when I was a kid. I wish I could repay her

Name brand items. Doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s name brand it’s a ripoff. I’m not paying $500 for a tshirt with an ironed on Gucci logo, when I can get the same shirt for $5 at target. And it probably cost 50 cents for them to make.

Been using reddit for a very long time, no idea what gold or coins actually do. Or why anybody would care about the sub you get access too.

My wife is a makeup artist. She says the expensive stuff is much better because of the better ingredients.

The cheap stuff at Target is literally packed with ingredients that are harmful to your skin.
