How To NOT Save Money

There are so many "How To" manuals, lists, books, and articles.  I have written many myself, but today I want to write a "How To Not" list about saving money.

How To NOT Save Money

  • Take all of your spending money with you to the store
  • Fail to prepare a spending plan BEFORE the money is actually spent
  • Always pay retail price
  • Buy it as soon as you see it – always give in to impulsive decision-making
  • Always buy things brand new
  • Buy expensive items that depreciate in value (cars, boats, Ty Beanie Babies, etc)
  • Buy more items than one can possibly use "because they were cheap"
  • Eat at restaurants for at least two meals every day
  • Never ask for a better deal on insurance or have insurance policies at multiple companies

Any that you want to add?

    Another How To Not Save Money
    Never pay cash for anything especially items you found on “sale” – say CHARGE please

    Whether you’ve got cable or satellite TV, add all the Premium, Sports & Movie packages you can find, even though with 600 channels available chances are there’s nothing worth watching anyway.
