 kind of silly of me when I’m buying a $15 bottle of body wash just because it “smells pretty” or “makes nice bubbles”. All I actually need to get clean is a good ol’ bar of Dial soap, which is a fraction of the cost of those fancy washes. It may not smell as nice, but it gets the job done.

I do still buy these things from time to time, but only when I have a gift card and the things I want are on sale. I find that it makes using these products all the more luxurious and I really feel like I’m getting pampered — when all I’m doing is showering.

9. Gym memberships/personal training

I’m not knocking a gym membership. I loved going to the gym back when I belonged to one, and I know I worked out a lot harder there than I do at home. However, when you have no furniture in your apartment, no microwave, and barely enough money to eat — you shouldn’t have a gym membership. Or a personal training package. But I did.

When I was in college, and for a few years after, I was B-R-O-K-E. But I also wanted to get in shape. I thought that the extreme sacrifice in order to pay for the gym and training package, along with motivation from an outside source (the trainer) would finally get me into the best shape of my life.

As it turns out, motivation comes from within (who knew?), and all I ended up with was a fat ass and a fine for canceling the training package early. I started jogging outside for free instead and lost more weight than I ever did working out with the trainer. Go figure. (learn how to stick with your resolutions)

10. Trying to keep up with others

“Keeping up with the Joneses”, as they say. Except the Joneses were actually a group of spoiled rich kids that I met at a bar in college and befriended for a very short period of time before I realized that there was no way I was ever going to be able to hang with these people.

I spent a few months going out to bars with expensive cover charges to buy drinks that I couldn’t afford because that’s what this particular set of Joneses were doing. I bought shots, drank beers, ate expensive sushi, and just generally lived outside of my means
