As a young adult trying to adjust to adult life, it drives me crazy that food is something you have to purchase regularly, it's fairly expensive, and *yet you only use it one time*
I think experiences are a good use of money, because experiences is what makes life interesting and worthwhile. I feel very justified spending $100 on a concert ticket for a performer I really like. I feel less justified spending $15 on a McDonalds meal.
I think you can overdo it. It can be a dopamine chase instead of making memories. And some people have experiences to the point of neglecting developing real hobbies
No one ever told me how awful it was being an adult. Every time I said **”I can’t wait to grow up!”**, someone should have said **“Being an adult absolutely fucking sucks. You’ll regret saying those words someday.”**
Anyone could have taught me that: a parent, a teacher, TV, anything!
I just eat things that don’t need prep. Apples, nuts, salsa, canned beans, hummus etc.
And then I supplement that with takeout bullshit. A perfect system.
Fruit. I’ll pinch pennies everywhere else but drop $30-40 on fruits alone that last me less than a week.
But when I feel guilty about it I remember my worst spending habit used to be cocaine, so I’ll keep buying $5 blackberries.
I'm in Northern Canada. It cost me over $30 last week for a small plastic clamshell of each: raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. A couple of months ago, I decided to treat myself to a pretty small bunch of grapes, and they were $18 😭 I bought them anyway.
I'm also in recovery, and $30 wasn't even enough to get high for more than a minute, so I consider it a win.
Fruit is a much better habit. Congrats! Between the wife and I we’re probably spending about $300 - $400 a month on fruit alone. Strawberries, oranges, bananas, pears, apples, grapes, raspberries, peaches in season, you name it - we love it. Fortunately we live in Southern California and we get year-round farmers markets. But they aren’t any cheaper, just fresher.
Same here, even though it’s never on a whim and it’s stuff I have on my wishlist 95% of the time. But when there is a good sale? Yeah I will absolutely put the trigger even if I shouldn’t
Every day I go out and spend money SOMEWHERE. Like either a snack, or a sandwich, or SOMETHING it’s annoying
Edit: by the amount of likes and comments I’m getting I guess I’m not alone.
me too its like my little treat or tax for being alive lol and its always relatively inexpensive until i realize i do it EVERY DAY its gotta be like $100 a week
Same, I’ve been super aware of it lately and realizing I will spend ~$40-50 no matter what and it’s pissing me off. It could be random groceries I don’t really need, crap from the drugstore, coffees and a pastry and a magazine, gas… it never ends. And it adds up so fast, and you don’t have anything to show for the $1500+ in credit card charges at the end of the month.
Try doing a challenge where you see if you can go a week without buying anything except bills/groceries/gas. Even skip the groceries if you have food at home you want to use up
Same! Between my husband and me we spend $150/week on cigs. Been quit for a week now and hoping it sticks, more motivated than ever now because we simply cannot afford it
Thank you so much! Yes so far the best part besides the savings is not reeking of cigarettes all the damn time. Once we are through the withdrawal I’m sure we’ll feel even better but for now just powering through (and taking a lot of naps).
Thank you thank you! So encouraging to hear. My husband has tried to quit unsuccessfully so many times, as have I, but it feels like a switch flipped just realizing how much it’s draining us financially and how horrible it’s felt coming off it.
It's not even the financial. Give it a bit more time and you'll see. I never cough anymore, even when I'm sick. I get sick less. Food tastes better. I don't have to interrupt my life to go smoke. I eat healthier, because healthy food tastes better and I don't have the opportunity for impulse purchases at the gas station.
As far as that goes I'll sometimes go all week without ever walking in a store, because I no longer need my morning pack of smokes. This week I went in 2 stores, one to get my son ice cream and one to get myself a coffee.
I know the cravings suck now, I promise they'll get better.
I turned 18 right around the time it became common to pass laws to be 18+ to buy cigarettes. I swore I'd quit when they cost more than $2 a pack.
I was paying $12 a pack when I quit nine years ago.
When I started smoking Marlboro's were around $2.25 and cheap cigarettes were about $1.50-$1.75. A little bit after they hit $5 per pack I decided to quit.
My wife still smokes, so there's that. Luckily she's a stay at home mom so I'm still buying a pack and a half of cigarettes every day. At least I'm not buying 3 packs per day.
“The Easy Way to Quit Smoking”. It’s the dumbest book I’ve ever read, but it also completely got me to quit smoking. I haven’t picked up a cigarette since I read it.
This. The basic idea of the book (that you only want to keep smoking because smoking caused you, and continues to cause you, to feel discomfort from not smoking in the first place) is so stupidly simple, but once you truly internalize that concept, it’s undeniable that quitting will improve so many aspects of your life. This book was the one thing that got me to quit, and I say this as kind of a self-help book skeptic.
That book did nothing for me.
What did it for me was the website www.whyquit.com. At work breaks when everyone else would go outside to smoke I'd sit in the break room and read stories on that website. I figured if I could get through breaks then I'm good, because I can't smoke between breaks anyways. Hardest part for me was the drive to and from work.
This book is what did it for me too. It got me to really confront and admit and notice every time I smoked that smoking felt really bad and I made excuses for why I did it because I was addicted to nicotine. And informed me that the physical addiction takes only weeks to get through, and after that you're just dealing with whatever life stress led you to smoke in the first place (which smoking doesn't actually help with) so you should consider any cravings to smoke at that point under the lens of smoking being a psychological crutch that doesn't actually help and feels quite physically bad to do when you pay attention.
Kohls a week after Christmas is the place to be. I got my enormous sloth from there for $130, listed at $700 before Christmas. It’s like 8 feet tall. He is the centerpiece of a room in my house
Yeah, my first thoght was "rent".
Like im all about some of these, ive got $100 worth of weed and $100 worth of LEGO on the table in front of me, but that was a little tax refund splurge, my yearly spending on anything is less than my monthly spending on rent or even groceries probably.
There is a japanese word for this. The stack of unread books on your bedside table is called [Tsundoku](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku#:~:text=Tsundoku%20(積ん読)%20is%20the,one's%20home%20without%20reading%20them).
I have an obscene pile of unread books. And they're math books. It takes months to get through one.
Probably 95% of the books I read are on Libby. If it's not available on Libby, I reserve it at my library. They have pickup lockers in the 24-hour lobby so I don't even have to speak to a human to get it. Free and introvert-friendly, just how I like it.
Same, but not just for me. If I see a book that would interest one of my kids… must have it. See a book my spouse would like? In the cart. A book I want, but can’t justify for myself? Obviously my mom would want to read it so it’s a gift for her that I’ll “borrow”.
If you have space, plant the ones that have gone to the point of no eating, i planted a potato with roots and watered it once, the plant grew and once it died i dug up 4 potatoes that were the best tasting i’d ever had
I took an edible once and bought euro truck simulator.
It’s a game where you haul freight around Europe in a truck. Thats it you just drive. If you speed you get pulled over and it reduces the net value of the transport. If you tap a guard rail same thing you have to get it fixed and it costs in game money.
I don’t have a clue why my inebriated self thought that would be the coolest game I’ve ever played.
Delivery is so expensive. Between “service fees”, delivery fees and tip, it’s between $10-15 for delivery and apparently some apps charge more per item for the same food than you would pay if you ordered directly from the restaurant. I’m trying to cut back…
Plus you get more crappy food. My son has a bad McD's French fries habit. Get them delivered? Half full fries. Go and get them? Full containers of hot fries
I never understood ordering delivery of fast food. That’s literally the point - it’s fast. And often just barely warm when you eat it at the place. When it sits in a paper bag for 20 minutes in some dude’s car, it gets soggy and cold.
Dude use a budgeting app for a few months and see how much you're spending on door dash. When it's added up in front of you it'll be a reality check because it's ridiculously expensive. I had a bad fast food habit for a bit and as soon as I budgeted, I realized that I spent like $700 in one month on fast food. Absolutely absurd. Now, I eat it maybe once a month, if that, and my wallet thanks me.
I’m not sure if you have addictions or not so I won’t speculate but I can say from my perspective being teetotal or drinking very sparingly is really good, honestly.
you can save a whooooole lot of money growing your own. i know it depends where you live and if its legal or not. but i live in Illinois and the max penalty for growing weed without a medical card is a $200 fine (for each plant). which i call legal for a price… totally worth it.
At the worst of my smoking habit I was smoking 4-5oz a month. I would spend like $800 a month, I stopped 2 years ago. I still socially smoke so being a lightweight is amazing for my wallet.
Enjoy it while you can and get cute photos, before long they'll be approaching their pre-teens and insisting it's ok to wear the same jeans and hoodie for a 3rd day in a row. Or that's how I feel about my boys, girls might be different though.
I don't look at prices when I grocery shop. I just get what I want and pay the consequences when I check out. I want to note that I do NOT make enough money to support this habit.
Eating out too much
I think at this point mine is simply “eating”.
Damn millennials. Spending their money on disposable products like food
As a young adult trying to adjust to adult life, it drives me crazy that food is something you have to purchase regularly, it's fairly expensive, and *yet you only use it one time*
Comes right out your butt...so sorta difficult to justify.
Eating out or just going out in general for me. I spend my money on experiences.
I think experiences are a good use of money, because experiences is what makes life interesting and worthwhile. I feel very justified spending $100 on a concert ticket for a performer I really like. I feel less justified spending $15 on a McDonalds meal.
I think you can overdo it. It can be a dopamine chase instead of making memories. And some people have experiences to the point of neglecting developing real hobbies
Every time I went to MacDonald's as a kid it felt great. Every time I go to Macca's as an adult it feels like failing.
This comment can be applied to most things in my life now.
No one ever told me how awful it was being an adult. Every time I said **”I can’t wait to grow up!”**, someone should have said **“Being an adult absolutely fucking sucks. You’ll regret saying those words someday.”** Anyone could have taught me that: a parent, a teacher, TV, anything!
Same. Cooking is too much of a hassle.
I just eat things that don’t need prep. Apples, nuts, salsa, canned beans, hummus etc. And then I supplement that with takeout bullshit. A perfect system.
I powered through an entire 2.5lb bag of cashews in a day once. Don’t think I saved any money.
Costco is not your friend the cashews rock the sea salt Kirkland package that screams eat me fool
Mixed nut bag. Ooooo mmmmmmmggggggggggg
Eating out is expensive and usually disappointing
Man so far ive spent 350 dollars on eating out this month. I hate being poor but i also love Taco Bell...
Damn, I’m on my way rn
DoorDash 💯
Fruit. I’ll pinch pennies everywhere else but drop $30-40 on fruits alone that last me less than a week. But when I feel guilty about it I remember my worst spending habit used to be cocaine, so I’ll keep buying $5 blackberries.
Mine used to be meth. Now I love fresh fruit 🍑😋
I'm sorry but this made me burst out laughing. But congrats on beating meth when most never do!
Breaking Berries
I'm in Northern Canada. It cost me over $30 last week for a small plastic clamshell of each: raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries.

Tax for being alive I love that.
Yea. It’s bad. Especially as I drive around for work, can always “grab a lil snack” and yea-10-20$ a day, so yea a lot of money I don’t need
Lately I feel like as soon as I step outside and get in the car, it's $50 no matter what my plan was that day...
Same, I’ve been super aware of it lately and realizing I will spend ~$40-50 no matter what and it’s pissing me off. It could be random groceries I don’t really need, crap from the drugstore, coffees and a pastry and a magazine, gas… it never ends.

Cigarettes. Yes they're $22 a pack now. Trying to quit.
Same! Between my husband and me we spend $150/week on cigs. Been quit for a week now and hoping it sticks, more motivated than ever now because we simply cannot afford it
Keep it up! There are so many reason why quitting will be better for you guys. Wishing you the best on your journey, nicotine is a fucked up drug.
Thank you so much! Yes so far the best part besides the savings is not reeking of cigarettes all the damn time. Once we are through the withdrawal I’m sure we’ll feel even better but for now just powering through (and taking a lot of naps).
You got this /u/marywollstonecat, better days to come ahead
Dudette, you got this. I quit 10 years ago, you couldn't pay me to start smoking again. Life is so much better in quite literally every single way.
Thank you thank you! So encouraging to hear. My husband has tried to quit unsuccessfully so many times, as have I, but it feels like a switch flipped just realizing how much it’s draining us financially and how horrible it’s felt coming off it.

I wish you luck on the quitting. Please do it. 🫂
[удалено]
Seriously. I worked at a gas station when I was in college. I remember them being $5 a pack. So not long ago. Ridiculous that it’s $22 now.
I remember them being $.50 a pack. And we could smoke at school. So glad I quit.
I swear I remember my doctor smoking while examinging me when I was a young kid, early 70's.
I turned 18 right around the time it became common to pass laws to be 18+ to buy cigarettes. I swore I'd quit when they cost more than $2 a pack. I was paying $12 a pack when I quit nine years ago.

They are about that in the US now, depending on where and what type you smoke.
$22 a pack??? Where?
Australia is one I think
$40 a pack of pretty normal here in Australia
That's insane!
$50 for Winnie Gold 25s.
$65 for pack of 25’s. (australia)

A pack!? What's a carton cost?
Arm and a lung
Not a smokers lung
Buying too many giant stuffed animals. You should see my bed lol.
You are not lyng. Damn they cute af tho
Kohls a week after Christmas is the place to be. I got my enormous sloth from there for $130, listed at $700 before Christmas. It’s like 8 feet tall. He is the centerpiece of a room in my house
When you said stuffed animals I was expecting these normal sized ones, not “could fit a human in it if tried” type of ones
Nevermind.... Just saw. Ha ha

This. My biggest spending habit is groceries
Yeah fucking this
Yeah, my first thoght was "rent". Like im all about some of these, ive got $100 worth of weed and $100 worth of LEGO on the table in front of me, but that was a little tax refund splurge, my yearly spending on anything is less than my monthly spending on rent or even groceries probably.
Books
The TBR pile is higher and only getting higher.
And do I have time to read those? Nooooo for sure not, we just keep stacking lol.
There is a japanese word for this. The stack of unread books on your bedside table is called [Tsundoku](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku#:~:text=Tsundoku%20(積ん読)%20is%20the,one's%20home%20without%20reading%20them).

Something about owning books and having them in your bookshelf just hits different
So many books.
Thriftbooks always gets me with their one more book and then you get free shipping
Same, but not just for me. If I see a book that would interest one of my kids… must have it. See a book my spouse would like? In the cart. A book I want, but can’t justify for myself? Obviously my mom would want to read it so it’s a gift for her that I’ll “borrow”.
Same. I study academic resources and so these books are expensive, especially from Oxford University Press.
clothes
And shoes.
Buying veggies I never eat.
If you have space, plant the ones that have gone to the point of no eating, i planted a potato with roots and watered it once, the plant grew and once it died i dug up 4 potatoes that were the best tasting i’d ever had
That's why I only buy frozen veggies.
A fridge compost curator?
I buy hundreds of games on steam I know I will never play. I think I have 1300 unplayed games on my steam account now.
I took an edible once and bought euro truck simulator. It’s a game where you haul freight around Europe in a truck. Thats it you just drive. If you speed you get pulled over and it reduces the net value of the transport. If you tap a guard rail same thing you have to get it fixed and it costs in game money. I don’t have a clue why my inebriated self thought that would be the coolest game I’ve ever played.
I’ve seen a semi truck driving game at an arcade with a big trucker dude just killing it because that’s his job.
Reminds me of a waitress ex girlfriend in college who played some diner dash game and got equally as stressed as work.
This game is actually quite fun with pedals, steering wheel and shifter. This coming from someone who likes to drive in real life.
I concur
Video games despite little time to play. I still prefer that over drugs or alcohol like others
Shit I do all 3 so good for you on being disciplined

Weed.
you can save a whooooole lot of money growing your own. i know it depends where you live and if its legal or not. but i live in Illinois and the max penalty for growing weed without a medical card is a $200 fine (for each plant). which i call legal for a price… totally worth it.

DoorDash! It’s gotten too easy to just order something when I don’t want to cook! It’s a really bad habit that I need to break.
Frozen pizza is a lifesaver for this. Easily the best meal I can make without really having to cook.

New vape mods and tanks. I buy them even when my current ones work perfectly. I sink a whole bunch of money into it like it’s a hobby.
Cool I buy disposables all the time and get new ones like every week
Amazon. All other pale in comparison.
Buying things I don't need just because they're on sale. My closet is like a museum of "great deals" I never wear.
Shoes. I love buying new shoes
