–all for the sake of fitting in. It got so bad that one night I actually had to walk home from the bars in the middle of the night (about a 1-2 mile walk) in high heels and a dress because I couldn’t afford the taxi ride home.

My only excuse for this whole debacle is that I was living in a big city 3 hours from my hometown and had virtually no friends. I was desperate to find people to hang out with, and I was desperate for those people not to find out that I was barely paying my bills. They were either older and/or more well off than I was, and I simply could not keep up with their lifestyle. (See, what I learned from being broke)

Eventually, I had a falling out with one of the group members and the stress of keeping up the ruse became too much for me. I slowly phased myself out of the group. At the time, I was pretty bummed about it because I had to go back to having barely any friends. But looking back, I was certainly better off. I’m not sure why I wanted to hang out with a bunch of 35-year-olds who were still spending all their time in college bars, anyway.

Conclusion

Clearly, I’ve done a lot of dumb things that have cost me money. I am absolutely certain that this list doesn’t even cover half of the way I so waste much money, but it’s a good start for now.

The good thing is, once you realize you are doing dumb things, you can stop doing them. A little self-awareness goes a long way with your checkbook.
