    I’ll go first: coffee in disposable cups. Basically paying rent for a cardboard mug.

    The latest smartphones. You don’t have to upgrade every single time a new phone comes out.

    Expensive tech stuff when they don’t need it. I mean when more affordable stuff are okay

    Booze. I get it, and I’ve been there but it’s a net loss in terms of health and emotional stability. Beer, wine, liquor; it’s an expensive way to be miserable.

    Renewal by Andersen windows! They’re 2-3 times more the competition and absolutely not worth it.

    Diamonds. The price is very inflated, because they aren’t very rare

    I’ll be honest, autographs and pictures. I go to conventions some times and people buy and buy and buy. Last time I went to scarefest. People walking around with so much merch that’s signed, spending hundreds to a decent thousand in one night. Last time I went I brought 120 bucks. I bought 2 pics and 2 posters with autographs. It’s cool I’m not going to lie but I would never go over 300 bucks on it in one night. If they are older stars and they look like they can fall over any time I definitely get it if I want it. Like I got Lance henriksens one year because I don’t know how much he’s got left and I also got Carl weathers like a year or before he died so I’m glad I got it.

    Paying $45 for a Big Mac and fries … to be delivered cold to your front door. So stupid.

    I know this is controversial because I’ve gotten in Redditland trouble before for saying this, but TV and music streaming and subscription services. TV and radio stations are available over the air, for free, so why are people paying for this? It makes no damn sense

    Apple products. Twice as expensive and probably worse than the competitor’s phone/computer/etc.
