24 things we waste money on: we won't need them, even if we have 3 lives!

We all have sweet little vices for which we spend more money than we should in principle. But what are we spending money on, do we even realize it and will we ever really need it?

How much money do you spend on unnecessary things without which you could function perfectly normally?

1. Fitness membership. The best exercise in the world is walking, but if you want a toned body, do push-ups, sit-ups, planks... You can do all this at home.

2. Camera. If you are not a professional photographer, then your phone is good enough, or it can be much better than a cheap camera.

3. Multivitamins. Visit your doctor, who will tell you which vitamins you lack (if any), and then put together a menu with suitable foods.

4. Wedding Dress. Don't buy a dress that you will wear once in your life. You'd better borrow it.

5. Bottled water. Better buy a good bottle and fill it with water. The effect is the same.

Instead of buying bottled water every time, make sure you have one good bottle in which to add water.

6. Landline phone. Today we all have mobile phones, a landline is an unnecessary waste of money.

7. Training clothes. What's missing from a regular tracksuit and a white T-shirt?

8. Toys. The more toys there are, the more a child's imagination is killed.

9. Everything for detox. Mixers, multi-purpose juicers and other products for preparing various juices are useless in this case, since you only need water to detoxify the body.

10. Navigation system. Every smartphone has GPS, so you don't need a special device for it.

Your child almost certainly doesn't need a ton of toys.

11. IMrducklings and pet clothes. This is important only to the owners, the animals do not care if they play with a ball of wool or an expensive toy, and whether you dress them or not.

12. CDs and DVDs. There are quite a few online stores where you can BUY music and movies (not steal) and then just play them.

13. Payment card insurance. If your card is stolen, the best protection is to block your account.

14. Sweet little things for the bath. Shampoo, gel and sponge are all you need. Everything else is unnecessary waste.

15. Phone apps. If you download an app for free, it often turns out that you have to pay for it to work as it should. If you have been able to do without it until now, you will continue to do so.

16. Straws. It is true that they are cheap, but they are useless and there is no need to waste money on them.

17. Extended warranty. As soon as you pay for an extended warranty on a product, you've thrown money out the window. If your product breaks, have it repaired or buy a new one. Otherwise, almost every product has at least a two-year warranty.

18. Pedigree dogs and cats. If you love animals, this won't matter to you.

19. Musical instruments. If your child wants to play a musical instrument, enroll him in a music school. If it sticks to its purpose, then overdub it with a guitar or other instrument.

20. Wedding invitations. In any case, you will need to call each guest individually to see if they will be attending your wedding. Invitations can otherwise be one of the biggest costs when organizing a wedding.

A true animal lover will not care if it has this pedigree or not.

21. Device for storing dirty diapers. Take the diaper, put it in a bag and throw it in the trash.

22. Fryer. To fry fries (if you really have to), you can use a frying pan, oil and a mesh ladle.

23. Recipe books. If you didn't get a recipe book from your mom or grandma, you definitely don't need to take it to the bookstore. Just go online.

24. A tool. It is definitely important that every house has a screwdriver, drill, hammer, etc. But don't waste money on devices you'll use once in a lifetime.

25. Clothes. If you haven't really gained weight, lost weight, or destroyed, washed, torn your clothes, then you don't need new clothes.

Clothes are not necessary either.
