Personal finance bloggers are always talking about saving money and ways to save money. Today I’m here to own up to my mistakes and let you guys know that just because someone writes about money it doesn’t mean that they’re great with their money all of the time. We all make mistakes and sometimes the best thing to do is to look back and laugh at them.
Here are some of the stupidest ways I spend/waste money:
Eating out. I make my own food 75% of time. It’s when I don’t that I blow lots of money. What can I say? I love to eat and I don’t skimp out when I eat out.
Parking. I drive to places that I should probably take the bus to. Oh well, I hate the cold and wasted hours of my life the past 5 years while taking public transportation everywhere. The driving is worth it but when it comes time to park in certain areas of the city, all I can do is suck it up and curse on the inside.
And the stupidest way I spend money? Instead of telling you, I can show you…
Yes I love to smell good even though I know there are no real benefits to it.
Your turn. What are some of the stupidest ways you spend your money?
Have some fun and please don’t judge anyone.

Eating out is our number one money waster. All of our other luxury expenses were chosen after careful consideration – cable ($60 a month with DVR and used ALOT), biweekly maid service ($45 for bottom floor), biweekly lawn service ($25 with weeding), and Massage Envy ($49 a month as gift to hubby) – but eating out is the big money waster because we only do it because we’re too lazy to cook. We’ve aimed to only eat out once a week this year and are sticking to it really well…I hope we can continue this 2 month streak.
