We can waste money before we know it!  Plus where does all our money go?  Sure our paycheck seems big, but is the money wasted right before your eyes?

1. Getting fake nails - though I know this isn’t a problem for guys, those nails salons charge a bundle. Try taking care of the nails you’ve got instead of spending loads on some fake ones…

2. Smoking - I can’t think of a worse habit. $5 a pack and expensive medical bills in the future? Sure it has a nice calming effect, but there plenty of other ways to achieve that same effect.

3. Organic Products - This can be wasteful, depending on your fruit consumption habits. The problem with organic is that they expire faster. So if you don’t plan on eating that organic fruit right away, don’t buy it or stick to regular fruit.

4. Putting higher quality gas in your tank - Why put in Super or Premium when there is no added effect to your car? (unless you have to use that kind of gas).

5. Energy Drinks - People drink them trying to stay up through the night, but drinking these drinks everyday really add up. For the amount you get, $2 really can add up.

6. Plastic Cups and Silverware - Like paying to build up our landfills, try using those cups that you can use over and over.

7. Lottery tickets- did anyone say poor man’s tax?

8. Driving - Drive a huge vehicle and waste gas? At least try getting more done in less trips. I’d prefer to drive a moped around when I don’t need to go far.
