Ever found yourself spending money on something you thought would make life easier, only to realize it was a complete waste? I have definitely been there.

Sometimes, the things we believe will be useful turn out to do the exact opposite, draining our wallets and just adding clutter to our lives.

In today’s world, there are so many temptations to spend money our money. You might not even notice it, but small purchases add up quickly, and before you know it, you're spending more than you intended on things that don't truly matter or add value to your life.

What are some things you find to be a complete waste of money? 👇

In the US when you shop at Walmart and other big box stores, they ask you if you want to donate to some cause. When you do this, Walmart is donating to the cause with your money and they get a tax break for it. It’s better to donate directly.

Oh my gosh!! 100% on meds! I lost 90 lbs and started walking 3 miles a day and im off almost all of my meds! KEEP PREACHING THAT!!!🎉🎉

I understand the reasoning for not buying a new car and I live a minimalist lifestyle. However, I always buy a car new and pay cash so I have no car loan. I know the entire history of the car from day one and treat my car very well and garage it at night. I keep a car for almost 20 years, having bought my latest car in 2016 and it only has 26, 000 miles on it now. It is a Toyota hybrid and I take it in once a year for annual maintenance and that's it. These habits are why I can keep a car for 2 decades and I feel it is the best solution for me. Public transportation does not really exist where I live.

All of these resonated so well with me. I will be 40 next month and I still use public transportation. Never had a license and don't see one in my future anytime soon. I don't see a point paying money to own and maintain an oversized hot wheel. I find public transportation just fine. I can use it when needed and I don't have to maintain and deal with it.

I have always been interested in having just the necessary. I have watched many youtube channels, but since i found your channel, I finally feel that i'm listening to someone who lives in real life and gives you realistic lessons about how to simplify your life. Thanks❤

doctors don't make more money for prescribing certain drugs, not in the US anyways. I should know, I am one! in fact, that is illegal. most physicians in the us are salaried employees nowadays anyways, but even the ones that own their own practices don't get paid that way. oh, and I like wearing old clothes and driving an old car even though i have a lot of money. there are many advantages to not appearing wealthy. great channel!

That Bible was $60. Ridiculous. We can get free ones in many places

[markbrock]

Great video, great advice. As usual. :)
One thing I have always done, out of necessity in my youth, is to buy used stuff.
Let the other guy absorb the 50% loss of retail purchase. Yesterday I bought a nice condition pair of 501 jeans at a garage sale for 3 bucks. That's about free these days. This goes for cars as well. I bought one new one in my life and look at it now as one of my biggest financial mistakes.
For me, on the medication front, a change in my diet made all the difference. Keto/carnivore. I haven't seen a doc or urgent care in 5 years. Before that it was 2-3 times a year and getting antibiotics. I even had covid and didn't go to the doc on my new diet. It has made all the difference.
Keep up the great work. I am sure you are informing a lot of people out there around the world.

SEVE! This is one of your best videos yet!! I have wasted money on many of the things you have described! I agree wholeheartedly with all 12 things - I've learned it the hard way. I hope others listen to you and accept your wise advice so they don't have to learn the hard way!

[trainerbeckyreid]

Great video, Seve! Your list is so spot on, and includes things no one else mentions. Especially the “minimalist” new clothes and the apps to “remind you to be present”. 😂
Thank you for this video.

[asheirahs_nook]

I recently realised that cheaply made clothes of low quality are a waste of money for me. I know it's tempting to want to save money, but I've reached a stage where I want to buy decent quality garments that make me feel good and put together. The cheap clothes I used to get (I hate clothes shopping) do nothing for my figure and wear out very quickly. After a couple of washes it loses its shape and get holes in it really quickly.
So now I'm being more mindful about the pieces I puchase and try to go for quality if I can afford it.

[flohough]

I literally laughed out loud at the app to remind you to be present! How crazy is that?!?!

Having some back ups isnt bad - one for travel, one for your room, and mayforone for your sling

Replacing End of Life items > buying because you saw something you liked the look of

Socks with holes, dishwasher with a leak, old creaking fridge that smells like a corpse, etc,
At that point it actually is time to replace them.

Hello there,

Normal i don't write on Youtube any comments.

I think you make a few goid points in this Video, but one Thing i want to add on would be your points to higher priced medicamentation.
A lot of Companys that a higher priced not only sell medicamentation, but also founding there Research on new medicamentation for jet Not treatable illnesses or better solutions. So i wouldn't say that every Company that Charge more are only greedy and it is very important to cosider if i want to Support companies that Do Research.

[iribiss]

Supportcomment! Although I'm a little later this time around. Sweet to pick up on you including another commenters request I read from your last video right at the start of this one. c: Have a peaceful weekend, everyone.

Pets stuff, toys and all kind of accesories. And also bijouterie to end up using the same 2 or 3 pairs of earrings 😅

From the USA here: on student loans, sperm donor made me attend two colleges after I dropped out of high school. I dropped out of both of them. He got those loans in my name, so they were mine to pay back. He refused to help. I've had them since 2008. They will never go away. I never wanted them or asked for them. And now I can't pay back the loans for the schooling I did want and go for and have a career in because those things have been drowning me for 16+ years... You're lucky your parents were kind to you.

edit: on car loans, sperm donor did it again. I wanted to spend three months researching cars to buy a used one. Three days after I spoke up about it, he had gotten a loan in my name and bought a car for me. Your lucky your parents were kind to you.
