10 Things You Should Never Waste Your Money On


Fast Food:

Fast food is another huge waste of money that does no good to your health or to your bank account. The latest trend in work culture is such that they lack time to carry food. This is one way where we spend excess money; even though the expenditure might be seen as less when calculated per day, it becomes a pretty big amount when calculated for a month. You can save this money by cooking your food at home and carrying it. Even if you are not good at cooking, you can take lessons from a variety of cooking websites and come up with new recipes. This way you will create a new hobby and simultaneously spend less.

Jewelry:

 Indian women have craze for jewelry. Even if they have a dozen of them, they will still buy new ones. It is a fact that all jewelries are subjected to volatile changes in price and high markups.  The industry average markup varies widely from 100 percent to over 1000 percent.  Also, jewelry is always an emotional purchase, so you need to think logically about what you are getting before you pay for it. Jewelry is rich in sentimental value but it loses this value approximately 10 percent in the first year of ownership. When you try to sell used jewelry, the depreciation may hit hard; but as a buyer, you can take advantage of the markdown and save more money.

Weight Loss Traps:

If you think, taking some fat burning pills or going for a laparoscopy will reduce all your fats and can regain a leaner shape; think again.
