12 Ways to Waste Money
By DIY Maven
There’s a ton of articles out there telling you how to save money, but what about if you want to waste it? Well, here are a few ideas if you have some cash laying around and you just don’t know what to do with it.
- Buy a new car–preferably at night, and make sure you ask for the optional undercoating.
- Buy a used car with low miles and tons of rust.
- When having your car repaired, tell the mechanic to fix whatever’s broken and to not call you with an estimate.
- Use your charge card liberally and only pay the minimum monthly payment.
- Only buy brand name products; it pays for advertising.
- Say ‘yes’ to every telemarketer who calls.
- Only shop at stores that are carpeted.
- Don’t read contracts; just sign them.
- Only fly first class.
- Get a satellite navigation system to show you how to get to places you already know how to get to.
- Buy commercial grade appliances and then get take out every night.
- Buy a pair of jeans for every day of the week, but only wear your favorite pair.
